1 2 Carpenter Family
The Carpenter family was one of substance in the English culture. Our earliest notations about them in this book begin near the times that the English people were beginning to explore and settle in the New World.
A result of the family's influence is shown in its American heritage as colonization and settlement began. Alice Carpenter would be a highlight in the family, having come to the Plymouth Colony after being widowed from Edward Southworth. He coming there was at the invitation of Gov. William Bradford, leader of the colony, who was a widow himself. The two married and it is from them that my lineage comes. They are my eighth grandparents.
My information on the Carpenters is limited and truthfully, much of this book is information about several family lines which descended from that Plymouth union: Steele, Kellogg and Sharp(e).

Generation No. 2
2. ALEXANDER2 CARPENTER (WILLIAM O.1)2 was born Abt. 1560 in Wrington, Somersetshire, England3, and died 16123. He married PRISCILLA DILLEN3 Bef. 15833.
Notes for ALEXANDER CARPENTER: Alexander Carpenter was from Wrington, Somersetshire, England. Here is a picture of Alexander's family through the channel of his daughters.
The Carpenter sisters were the daughters of Alexander Carpenter. Alexander and his family were members of John Robinson's congregation who moved to Leiden. Three of Alexander's daughters married in Leiden. One of these married daughters died without children but the remaining four immigrated to Plymouth after 1620 and occupied important positions in the civic life in Plymouth.
Juliana married George Morton, in Leiden in July 1612. Juliana and George and their children arrived in Plymouth in 1623 probably aboard the Anne. Morton was one of the
5 Carpenter Family authors Mourt's Relation the first account of life in Plymouth written to entice Englishmen to settle in Plymouth. George Morton died in 1624 and Juliana married Manasseh Kempton but had no children by him. In the 1627 cattle division, Juliana, Manasseh, and her children by Morton (Nathaniel, John, Ephraim and Patience) were listed in Bradford's company. Juliana's oldest son Nathaniel was born in Leiden in 1613. In 1647 Nathaniel became clerk of the Plymouth court, a position he held until his death in 1685. Throughout his life, Nathaniel held strong opinions that influenced civic life in Plymouth. Juliana died in 1664/5 and Nathaniel died in 1685.
After the death of her father Alexander, Mary Carpenter cared of her mother in Leiden. After she died, William and Alice (Carpenter) Bradford wrote to Mary in 1645 asking her to come to Plymouth to live with them. Mary immigrated to Plymouth but never married.
Alice Carpenter married Edward Southworth in Leiden in 1613. Edward died before 1620. After the death of his wife in 1620, William Bradford wrote to Alice inviting her to come to Plymouth. She arrived on the Anne in June 1623 and married Bradford in August 1623. Alice's two sons by Southworth, Constant (b 1614/6) and Thomas (b 1616/20), moved to Plymouth in ca 1628 to live in Bradford's home. Three sons were born to Alice and William Bradford: William, Mercy and Joseph. William later served as assistant to his father.
Agnes married the widower Dr. Samuel Fuller in Leiden in April 1613. They had no children. She died sometime before 1617 and Samuel Fuller married Bridget Lee in Leiden in 1617. Bridget arrived in America in 1623 aboard the Anne. Fuller was a signer of the Mayflower Compact and served the colony as surgeon, physician and church deacon. Bridget was the colony's midwife and thought to be a deaconess as well. Fuller died in Plymouth before the cattle division in 1627.
Priscilla arrived in Plymouth after the cattle division of 1627. She married William Wright in Plymouth after 1627 but before 1633. William arrived in Plymouth on the Fortune in 1621 and assumed leading roles in Plymouth affairs but unfortunately died in 1633. Priscilla married John Cooper in 1634. John Cooper's sisters, Ann and Lydia Cooper, married Ephraim and Nathaniel Morton. John and Priscilla moved to Scituate where he was constable in 1639. They later moved to Barnstable where he was a deputy in 1642. John's will is dated in 1676.
Marriage Notes for ALEXANDER CARPENTER and PRISCILLA DILLEN:
The children from this marriage had a decidedly positive effect on the success of Plymouth Colony, that famous New World settlement that was established with the 1620 arrival of the Mayflower.
"The five sisters of Alexander and Priscilla were members of John Robin's congregation in Leiden who (or their children) became important members of Plymouth during its formative years. After 1620, four of them traveled to Plymouth where three married former Leiden men. A great deal has been written about the prominent men in Plmouth, but far less has been written about their wives. The women raised the children, maintained hearth and home, and
6 Carpenter Family sustained family life under the harsh physical conditions of the early years. The presence of families in Plymouth was one of the reasons the colony was more successful than other English settlements containing only men."

10 Carpenter Family
Notes for ALICE CARPENTER:
Alice, widowed from Edward Southworth, came to the new colony in the summer of 1623 on the sail ship "Anne." She came at the personal invitation of William Bradford, the new Governor of the Colony. He had written after his wife had died. The acquaintance of William and Alice reached back to the Leiden group days when she and her first husband, Edward, were a part of that group. Their marriage was the fourth one for Plymouth Colony.
Source: www.sail1620.org/discover_biography_the_carpenter_sisters_of_leiden.shtml
Alice represents a unique turning place in this family's genealogy, in that she represents connections to two of the most significant historical documents in the world that deal with government and freedom.
Her first husband, Edward Southworth, is the 11th great grandson of King Edward I (Longshanks). Edward was the grandson in a trilogy of three generations of Kings (John of Lackland, Henry III and himself) who issued 17 known copies or versions of what became known as the Magna Carta. The significance of these documents is they laid out in written order the concepts that the king was not all powerful, but did need to consult with the citizenry (the Barons in these cases) about certain matters, and the beginning seeds of civil and human rights were first expressed in a government level official document. Now it must be remembered that the three Kings agreed to these things under pressure from the Barons, and not because the Kings felt magnanimous for the people's rights. Fifteen of the known copies of the Magna Carta reside in various British institutions, one is in Australia and one is in the United States, the property of the Perot Foundation of Dallas, Texas. The foundation's originator, Mr. H. Ross Perot, Sr. is a friend of mine and a member of the church where I labored on its staff for over twenty years, Highland Park Presbyterian Church. The Magna Carta copy Mr. Perot has was issued by King Edward I and its significance is that it was the only one of the 17 editions that actually found its way into wording of legislation in England. There are some 37 sections to that edition and 10 of them are reportedly still on the law books of England today as originally put. Mr. Perot gave me a couple of copies of posters he'd made illustrating that copy of the Magna Carta and it is nicely framed and graces the office walls where I pursue my work.
Alice's second husband, William Bradford, was a significant leader and man of God among the Mayflower Pilgrims. He and she are my eighth great grandparents. Though he was not formally educated, his self-education described elsewhere in this paper was such to make him probably the most learned and literate man among those 102 Mayflower passengers. The men among those passengers signed what was called the Mayflower Compact shortly after arriving at the new land, but prior to setting foot on the new land. It was a document to outline a system of self government by which these people would live in freedom, in God's grace, but would have an understood order of authority from the citizens necessary for their new society to prosper. This was the first such document in the New World to affirm these concepts in writing. Though it is not reported exactly who composed that document (it presumably was a document of expression from all of them) I think it is fairly obvious that Bradford was a co-author, if not the principle author of its composition. After all, no one knows where the original copy disappeared , but the only reason we have the words captured today is that Bradford, in his writing of the history of the Plymouth Colony, cited the words
11 Carpenter Family which obviously were familiar to him.
So, we can be thankful for the experience of being related to Alice, a woman whose two marriages brought together family lines of high profile men in history who were associated with the very fundamentals of freedom and all that we as Americans hold dear for our self governance.

Notes for EDWARD SOUTHWORTH:
Edward was a highly respected member of the Leiden group of Christians. There exists a degree of discussion about his exact identity. I yield to the wisdom reported in a web site that purports to address this debate and quote it here for my readers. The web site address is:

The Identity of Edward Southworth of Leyden
------
Editor's note: the last issue of the Southworth Chronicles contained an article entitled Coming to America which touched upon the life of Edward Southworth, the husband of Alice Carpenter and the father of Constant and Thomas (from whom nearly all Southworths in the United States descend). The article stated that Edward Southworth was the son of Thomas Southworth and the grandson of Sir John Southworth, but neglected to note that Edward's ancestry has been the subject of some controversy. The following is condensed from John Southworth's "Miscellaneous Notes" to "A History of the Southworths of Samlesbury 1300- 1890" which he has been kind enough to share. We are very grateful to him for this and other very useful information.
The various candidates put forward as being Edward of Leyden:
Edward, son of Thomas of Wells, Shropshire Edward of Fenton, Sturton, Nottinghamshire Edward, son of Robert of Clarborough, Nottinghamshire Edward, son of Richard, Clarborough, Nottinghamshire Edward, son of Richard of London Edward, son of Thomas of Samlesbury, Lancashire
We know that Edward of Leyden was born about 1590 in England and that he married Alice Carpenter of Wrington, Somersetshire on 28 May 1613 at Leyden, Holland, that he had two children named Constant and Thomas and that he died in England in 1620.
12 Carpenter Family
1. The idea that Edward of Leyden could have been the son of Thomas Southworth of Wells, Shropshire arose from an apparent error in Justin Winsor's book, "History of Duxbury, Mass." wherein he stated that Constant and Thomas Southworth were the sons of Constant and Alice Southworth (nee Carpenter) and the grandsons of Thomas and Jane (nee Mynne). This Thomas, however, did not mention any children in his will, nor did his mother in her will. Documents show that Edward Southworth was married to Alice Carpenter, not Constant. See "A Genealogy of the Southworth descendants of Constant Southworth" by Samuel G. Webber.
2. Edward of Fenton was shown to be 36 years old in 1608 which would have made him 41 at the time of his marriage to Alice Carpenter. This would have disqualified him from being described as a young man ("jongman") in the Leyden marriage record. See "The Ancestry of Ensign Constant and Captain Thomas Southworth of Plymouth and Duxbury, Mass." by Frederick L. Weiss.
3. Edward, son of Robert of Clarborough was, according to the visitation of Nottinghamshire, married to Ann Elsam around 1607 which disqualifies him from further consideration. See Webber's book. Robert of Clarborough had a brother who also had a son named Edward (see next item).
4. Edward, son of Richard of Clarborough was born in 1585 had a brother named Thomas, born two years earlier. It is possible that this Edward could have been Edward of Leyden. Webber and Weiss conclude that there is little to connect the two, but Robert French in his article "Who was Edward Southworth of Leyden" (Mayflower Quarterly, Feb. 1992) demonstrates that Thomas Southworth (Richard of Clarborough's son and Edward's brother) left a bequest to a man named Nicholas Watkins, who was also left a bequest by a woman named Anne Peck went she to join the Pilgrims in Holland. French concludes his article by naming Pilgrims John Robinson, Richard Bernard, Richard Clyfton, John Smith, Hugo Bromhead, William Brewster et al as having ties to the Southworth family of Nottinghamshire.
5. Edward, son of Richard of London, would have been 52 years of age at the time of his supposed marriage to Alice Carpenter and again would not have been described as a young man on the marriage certificate. See Webber and Weiss.
6. Edward was the seventh son of Thomas of Samlesbury and Webber concludes, that as such, he would not have had a very great inheritance and would have had some reason to leave home. Webber clearly believes that his Edward was Edward of Leyden and notes that Myles Standish came from Duxbury, Lancashire and that it is not improbable that they were friends and so together joined the Pilgrim band. The Standish family worshiped at St. Lawrence church which is less than ten miles from Samlesbury Hall.
John Southworth draws the following conclusions: "There is no denying a Nottinghamshire Southworth/Pilgrim connection" which can be established by considering the marriage of Samuel Fuller of Nottinghamshire to Agnes Carpenter (Alice's sister) in 1613. There is also a clear connection of the Samlesbury family and London (where Edward of Leyden lived prior to his death in 1620).
13 Carpenter Family
Edward of Leyden appears to have been both a merchant and business agent for the Pilgrims and so was presumably literate, which was largely the prerogative of the wealthy. There is no record of Edward of Samlesbury's education, but his brothers Thomas and John attended Oxford.
Edward of Leyden was married to Alice Carpenter of Wrington, Somersetshire. A branch of the Samlesbury Southworth's lived in that same county about twenty miles south west of Wrington.
G.C.S. Southworth, in 1897, mentions that a kinsman, Mr. H.W. Southworth, visiting Europe sometime before then, met a Mr. Baron of Blackburn (the township of Samlesbury was in Blackburn parish). Mr. Baron told him that Edward Southworth of Leyden was the son of Thomas Southworth, eldest son of Sir John Southworth of Samlesbury Hall.
John Southworth concludes by saying that "if the Samlesbury/Leyden connection is an old established belief/tradition, predating any later evolved alternative views, then it is likely to carry more weight. There does not appear to be any old belief/tradition concerning any Nottinghamshire connection."

Notes for GOV. WILLIAM BRADFORD:
William's father died in 1591 when the son was three years old. He then went to live with his grandfather, William Bradford, until the grandfather died in 1596. Then, young William went to live with his Uncle Robert Bradford, who resided in the little village of Scrooby, a place five miles from Austerfield and near the estate of the Brewsters, in Nottinghamshire. He joined the church where Rev. Richard Clifton and Rev. John Robinson preaches, and was soon numbered among the "Separatists," and became a leader among them.
His educational opportunities were meager, but he applied self learning, eventually becoming proficient in Dutch, Latin, French and Greek, along with some study of Hebrew, as he had a curiosity to read the Holy Scripture in its original languages.
William Bradford lived in a turbulent time for England. A Church of England, broken away from Rome, but headed by the likes of King James I, was not what many Christians
14 Carpenter Family wanted, and there arose two particular groups of them known as Puritans and as Separatists. Puritans sought to "purify" the Church of England, so they were not openly "rebellious" to the Church. On the other hand, the Separatists thought the Church of England beyond reform, and thus advocated a "separate" church.
The Rev. John Robinson at Scrooby in Nottinghamshire led this Separatist congregation. The congregation was formed in 1602. They met in the manor home of Postmaster William Brewster. They sought only to worship in their own way. They were peaceful and not confrontational to the Church of England authorities.
The believers in Scrooby were called Brownists, a derisive term in the minds of Church of England leaders, named after Robert Brown, a graduate of Cambridge University who was a catalyst for Protestant dissent in England in the late 1500's. Robinson was likened to Brown in his views. The Puritans were viewed as less threatening, as they had church buildings and could be found if authorities wished to arrest them. The Separatists or Brownists met in homes and therefore had no church buildings.
A Scrooby resident, though not a Brownists congregation member, was our William Bradford. He, being destined to become the governor of Plymouth Colony, wrote of the Brownists's oppressive situation...
"They were both scoffed and scorned by the profane multitude ... and the poor people were so vexed with apparitors, and pusurants and commissarie counts, as truly their affliction was not small."
He also wrote some opposition to the positions taken by the Brownists. Bradford was not only a gifted writer, publishing his famous and moving diary, A History of Plymouth Plantation, he would also become one of the heroic pioneers of Western history, laying the cornerstones that made possible the building of the American Republic. He is also the eight times great grand father of this writer.
However, in Scrooby, William Bradford was just another Christian Citizen. He was a mere teenager when he arrived at Scrooby, son of a farmer. But his potential was great to be a leader, a Govenor and a writer. His writings are credited with coining the term of "Pilgrims" to apply to these Christians who fared the Atlantic winter waters to seek freedom of worship and of pursuing life unfettered by the shackles seen in the structures prevailing in England.
The Separatists came under persecution by the English government, since it was the Church of England, government owned and sponsored, from which the group wanted separation. King James viewed them as rebels. In 1607, the people comprising the church at Scrooby made the decision to relocate to Amsterdam, a place where much religious tolerance was practiced. However, the harassment from the English government, including imprisonment of some of the members, including William Brester, they did not complete the move till 1608. This was a time when the Netherlands was enjoying its height of commercial shipping success around the then known world, and Amsterdam was considered probably the commercial capital of the world.
There were many Protestant churches in Amsterdam, due to the tolerance, but there was a
15 Carpenter Family lot of wrangling amongst themselves, and so the group from Scrooby relocated shortly to Leiden, a little south along the coast, toward The Hague. In Leiden, they settled down to their various occupations. William Brewster became a publisher of books. Rev. John Robinson taught at the university. Many of these Christians worked in the clothing trades. Isaac Allerton was a tailor. William Bradford and William Pontus were fustian makers. Fustian was a coarse, heavy cloth made of cotton and flax, and it was used for clothing in Europe through the Middle Ages. It's thickness was similar to corduroy or velveteen. It is twilled and has a short pile or nap. So, our William Bradford was a man of the cloth, but he was not a Man of the Cloth!
Even though freedom was good in Leiden, compared to England, being there was hard. They were not citizens, and so their employment opportunities were bottom of the barrel quality. The had jobs where work hours were very long and lowly paid. In addition, their youth seemed overly influenced by the great licentiousness of the youth native to that country, representing manifold temptations and much that was considered evil. So, after some 11 or 12 years in Leiden, the group decided to seek another place to live. They checked into the situation in England in 1620 to seek a solution.
Englishmen had began to poke around the new world in the early 1600's. Our friends in Leiden followed the news about these developments with increasing interest. In 1607, Jamestown had became the first permanent English settlement. It's ironic that is is proclaimed in history as the first permanent English settlement, because it dissipated into nothingness by shortly after 1700, due to its impractical and inhospitable conditions. Williamsburg and other places flourished later. However, Capt. John Smith, who was a leader with the Jamestown settlement, explored further north and made a detailed map in 1616 all the way up to what became known as New England. It was probably due to Smith's writings that the Leiden Separatists knew of the area and quite probably that the had copies of him maps when the made the jump to sail to the New World.
It is recorded that Capt. Smith had offered his services to captain a ship for the Leiden group to the New World, but they declined his offer, probably because he was highly priced, and they chose an English solder who'd been living in Holland, names Myles Standish. The English Separatists were cautious of Smith's reputation as a swashbuckling braggadocio, which is probably why they turned him down, but he wrote that they turned him down because of his cost.
Not all the Separatists in Leiden came in 1620. In fact, a majority of them remained in Leiden, some coming in a year or two later, others coming several years, and some stayed, including their pastor, Rev. John Robinson, who stayed till his death March 1, 1624.
The group set sail August 5, 1620, from Delfshaven, England on the Speedwell with about 120 passengers, but that ship's springing a leak and other forms of inadequacy forced a return, putting in at nearby Plymouth. They reloaded onto the Mayflower for their effective launch to the New World. They continued with only 102 passengers, as some chose to stay in England, foregoing the challenge and the fear of the unknown, settling for the known, displeasing as it was. On November 22, they sighted land, what we later know as Cape Cod. "They had began their long journey on the dock at Delfshaven to ask God's blessing; they ended it on the sands of Cape Cod, kneeling to thank Him for that blessing."

The Mayflower Compact, was written November 22, 1620 [This was November 11, old style calendar ] off the Coast of What Was To Become Massachusetts. This is the first written agreement for self?government in America. It was signed on the Mayflower, before landing at what became Plymouth Colony. There were 41 adult males who signed the document. Of the 102 passengers, 37 were members of the "Separatists" who were fleeing religious persecution in Europe. Half the colony failed to survive the first winter, but the remainder lived on and prospered. One of the signers was William Bradford, whom some historians have called the Father of American History. He basically was self-educated.
Listen to the stirring words of this compact:
The Mayflower Compact
"In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the Loyal Subjects of our dread Sovereign Lord, King James, by the Grace of God, of England, France and Ireland, King, Defender of the Faith.
"Having undertaken for the Glory of God, and Advancement of the Christian Faith, and the Honour of our King and Country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the northern parts of Virginia; do by these presents, solemnly and mutually in the Presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine ourselves together into a civil Body Politick, for our better Ordering and Preservation, and Furtherance of the Ends aforesaid; And by Virtue hereof to enact, constitute, and frame, such just and equal Laws, Ordinances, Acts, Constitutions and Offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the General good of the Colony; unto which we promise all due submission and obedience.
"In Witness whereof we have hereunto subscribed our names at Cape Cod the eleventh of November, in the Reign of our Sovereign Lord, King James of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fifty?fourth. Anno Domini, 1620."
Are not these words compelling as to Christian purpose? Although no one is quite sure what happened to the original copy of the Mayflower Compact, the world is fortunate enough to know what it said, because of the prudent gesture of Governor William Bradford to make a handwritten copy.
Early tragedy hit on December 9, 1620 when Bradford's wife, Dorthea May Bradford, drowned overboard before the band of Pilgrims had landed. It was early in the dawn hours and no one witnessed the fall. The cause of the fall was never determined.
There were only 23 family units to survive that cold winter after arriving November 21, 1620 in what is now Provincetown Harbor. It was not until December 26 that they selected Plymouth on Cape Cod to establish their living quarters. However, today it can be estimated that some 25+ million of our country's 280 million population probably are descended from that original group of 102 Englanders. Most of them were members of the Separatists religious movement in England, which objected to the Roman Catholic likeness of the Church of England.

These Pilgrims had a serious and purposeful dedication to following the ways of God... it is even viewed by some writers that the Pilgrims actually believed they were establishing the closest thing to God's Kingdom on earth as may be possible. After such was their thirst for advancement and establishment.
These Pilgrims were a mere handful of Light-bearers, on the edge of a vast and Dark Continent. But the Light of Jesus Christ was penetrating further into the heart of America. William Bradford would write with remarkable discernment. "As one small candle may light a thousand, so the light kindled here has shown unto many, yea in some sort to our whole nation . . . We have noted these things so that you might see their worth and not negligently lose what your fathers have obtained with so much hardship."
In the first few days ashore, they were approached by a native who greeted them with "Welcome Englishmen." This was quite a surprise to them. However this Indian native, Samoset by name, had been captured by earlier voyagers and taken to show off in Spain and England for a couple of years, thus his picking up English. He'd been returned to his homeland, as probably thought hopelessly untrainable for living in European culture. However Samoset became a significant communication asset for the Pilgrims.
In April 1621, Bradford succeeded Governor John Carver as chief executive of Plymouth Colony. Except for five years, Bradford served as governor almost continuously from 1621 through 1656, having been reelected 30 times. In 1621 he negotiated a treaty with Massasoit, the chief of the Wampanoag Indians. Under the treaty, which was vital to the maintenance and growth of the colony, Massasoit disavowed Indian claims to the Plymouth area and pledged peace with the colonists.
Massasoit's problem was that his tribe had been about 30,000, but a pestilence had reduced their number to about 300. He feared being taken over by other Indian tribe. He wisely realized that developing the friendship with the Pilgrims, who had muskets and some military expertise, would for an ally that would protect his tribe. That proved correct, and there was never any Indian conflicts during Bradford's life time, except for a few attacks by Captain Miles Standish that were punishment to some Indians who were competitors to Massascoit's tribe.
Bradford was a delegate on four occasions to the New England Confederation, of which he was twice elected president. His History of Plimouth Plantation (1656) is the primary source of information about the pilgrims.
It was the fall of 1621 when this vigorous band of survivors from that first terrible fatal winter first celebrated what we have come to know as a festival of Thanksgiving. Gov. Bradford call for the occasion, and the only recorded words we have to describe come from Edward Winslow:
"Our harvest being gottin in, our Governour sent foure men on fowling, that so we might after a more special manner rejoyce together, after we had gathered the fruit of our labours; they foure in one day killed as much fowle, as with a little helpe beside, served the Company almost a weeke, at which time amongst other Recreations, we exercised our Armes, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and amongst the rest their greatest King Massasoyt, with
18 Carpenter Family some nintie men, whom for three dayes we entertained and feasted, and they went out and filled five Deere, which they brought to the Plantation and bestowed on our Governour, and upon the Captaine, and others. And although it be not alwayes so plentifull, as it was at this time with us, yet by the goodnesse of God, we are so farre from want, that we often wish you partakers of our plentie." (W. De D. Love, "Fast & Thanksgiving Days in New England" 1895).
An aside note is appropriate at this point, to recognize that this Thanksgiving celebration was actually not the first Thanksgiving celebration to take place on ground that ultimately became the United States. The first one happened on April 28, 1598, twenty-two years earlier than the Plymouth Colony celebration. That first Thanksgiving was a group of Spaniards, led by the Spanish explorer, Juan de Onate, that feasted on the banks of the Rio Grande River after arriving near what now is El Paso, Texas. They had just made it through a 350 mile trek from Santa Barbara, Mexico, across the Chihauhuan Desert, so they had plenty to celebrate. In 1990, the Texas Legislature passed a resolution recognizing San Elizario, Texas, on the outskirts of El Paso, as the site of the first true Thanksgiving. It is also of interest to note that my great uncle, Alfred (Fred) Lansing Sharpe, established a ranch close to San Elizario about 1899, and he was elected a Texas Representative from that area in 1904.

A study of Bradford's writings and other research into the operation of the Plymouth Colony emphasizes that community's commitment to Christian ideals in service and in work ethic. They not only propagated with many children per household, but they propagated their religious and work ethic in ways, which resulted in Plymouth's prosperity and vigor. And even though today's Plymouth is mostly a thriving tourist town, it does anchor the culture and the being of the New World by those who would choose to come as God's children and for His honor and Glory.
But, what about the Protestant spirit of capitalism? Benjamin Hart in his book said that the Puritan's contribution to America's political institutions (included): written constitutions, separation of powers, regular elections, the secret ballot, the federalist principle, religious toleration and separation of church and state. But there is also a strong connection between the rise of Puritanism and the emergence of capitalism.
To appreciate fully that fact, it is worth reflecting briefly on conditions in Europe prior to the economic revolution, which began to take place following the Protestant Reformation. Living standards for most people in medieval Europe were poor. About 90% of the people spent their waking hours working in agriculture, trying to acquire food. Whether or not one could eat on a particular day was a major source in insecurity. Poor weather often meant going to bed hungry ... and extended poor weather could mean starvation ...
The Protestant Work Ethic created reliable patterns of behavior, which were so important for the development of a market system.... Capitalism and Puritanism fed off each other. Both developments placed responsibility on individual initiative; and both involved a clean break from the paternalistic and static feudal order of England. Both were highly destructive of hierarchy and empowered the individual to determine his own fate.

It certainly can be propositioned that these are the reasons the Plymouth Colony was so successful in enduring long term, versus the poor quality spiritual and civic values at the foundations of the ill-fated Jamestown Colony, a colony established in 1607, but which could not survive past the early 1700's. It is of interest that this writer wrote and made a presentation to this effect to a Dallas, Texas chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in 1997, and it subsequently was proclaimed the best program of the year among all of the DAR chapters in Texas that year.
These are the events and influences of our famous William Bradford, man of God, leader of the pilgrims. He is hailed by some historians as the Father of American History, due to his extensive and complete written journals of the life of the pilgrams in much of the 1600's. These writings are the most extensive of the relative few writings which exist today from that era of our history. It may be of interest to know that it was Bradford's writings where the term "Pilgrims" was first used to describe these Puritan travelers.
"It was not until 1793 that the name "Pilgrims" was applied to them in general. In that year, on the celebration of "Forefathers Day" at Plymouth, the Reverend Chandler Robbins, who preached the sermon, used the term. He had gone through the church records and had found a copy of William Bradford's description of the departure from Leiden. Bradford told of the reluctance of "the saints" to leave the city and then said, "but they knew they were pilgrims and looked not much on those things, but lifted up their eyes to the heavens, their dearest country, and quieted their spirits." In his sermon Robbins applied the name Pilgrims to the Forefathers and the name thus gained currency". (--Collier's Ency.) Source: http://members.aol.com/RichClark7/pilgrims.htm

7. WILLIAM3 CARPENTER (RICHARD2, WILLIAM O.1)17 was born in Amesbury, England17, and died 1685 in Providence, Rhode Island17. He married ELIZABETH ARNOLD17, daughter of WILLIAM ARNOLD. She was born 161117, and died 168817.
Notes for WILLIAM CARPENTER:
William, being one of the twelve men establishing the First Baptist Church in America with Roger Williams, enjoyed the confidence of Roger Williams as much as more than any of the men in leadership of that early community. In time, William was allotted a large tract of land called Pautuxet, Rhode Island, which today is called Cranston, Rhode Island.
William, as a prominent citizen, served on several commissions to lay out roads, boundary lines, to locate building and bridges. He was elected to the general Court (1658-1672) and as assistant and deputy to the General Assembly in 1679. His counsel was sought at the outbreak of King Phillip's war in 1676. The years of 1675-1677 were years of terror. By March 1676, only one house was standing between Providence and Warwick, Rhode Island.
In January 1676, some 300 Indians attacked the William's house, set it on fire and killed all his livestock. Tow member of his household were killed, including his son, William.
As the last survivor of the thirteen named in the Initial Deed of 1638, he conveyed deeds to heirs of his fellow proprietors that had been owned jointly by the proprietors.

He moved his family to Rehoboth in 1643 and was admitted a freeman in 1645. William was a leading citizen of Rehoboth and chosen proprietor's clerk in 1643 and clerk in 1649. He conducted much of the town's legal business. He was a member of the committee that laid out the road to Dedham, Massachuetts. In 1655 and again in 1645 or 1647, he was the director of Rehoboth. He also owned land in Pautucket, Rhode Island.

Notes for ALICE ADAMS:
The year of her birth, 1682, was a busy year on the American lands.
"The Slavery Law of 1670, which had exempted from lifelong servitude all slaves who had been converted to Christianity before their importation was repealed by the Virginia legislature. Repeal of the statue was dictated by the sharp decline in slave importation following its passage.
"A site for the city of Philadelphia was laid out by Thomas Holme, one of four commissioners who had been sent to Pennsylvania by William Penn to prepare settlers for the new government. Penn, who was in the colony at the time, helped in planning the city.
"The first European settlement in Texas was made by Spaniards at Yselta, on the site of present-day El Paso. The settlers were refugees from New Mexico who had been driven out after the Pueblo revolt of 1680. Several missions were established in this area, but they did not flourish, because the Comanche, Apache and other Indian tribes were unfriendly.
"William Penn's 'Frame of Government' was put into effect. An unusually liberal document, it provided for a governor, council and assembly to be elected by freeholders. The council had legislative, judicial and administrative powers. At first, the assembly could not initiate legislation, but this was altered in 1696.
"On August 13, 1682, the first Welsh settlers in America established a community near Philadelphia.
"On August 24, Delaware was awarded to William Penn by James, Duke of York, who had no legal title to the land. This made Penn's control over Delaware tenuous, particularly since it conflicted with other claims. The issue was finally resolved by the Charter of 1701, which gave Delaware autonomy. "

"It was the first territorial acquisition made by the United Stated, and it added 828,000 square miles of land between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains. The price the US Government paid France was 80,000,000 francs (about $15,000,000). The price included 20,000,000 francs for assumption by the US Government of claims against France by US citizens."
Ohio, the state in which they were married, had just become a state on February 19, 1803. "Ohio was the first state in which slavery was forbidden by law from the beginning of
41 Carpenter Family statehood."
"The first tax-supported public library was founded in Salisbury, Connecticut. It was launched by a gift from Caleb Bingham, a Boston publisher, and was continued by grants of town moneys." This was Jotham's home state.

Sarah's marriage into the Sharp family truly brought a strong family heritage into our family. Besides being our link to the descendants of Plymouth Colony Governor William Bradford, the Kellogg family includes Frank Billings Kellogg, a US Senator, US Secretary of State and 1929 winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. The Kellogg's also have Will Keith Kellogg, the founder of the cereal company by that name. Another Kellogg relative was Charles Curtis, who was the 31st Vice President of the United States (1929-1933). He served with President Herbert Hoover.

The family at this stage continued in the Lutheran Church. He moved his family from Sharon Springs, Schoharie County, New York to Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio about 1850. Though he was first listed as a farmer in the 1860 Census and a stone mason in the 1870
51 Carpenter Family
Census, it is thought that John spent most of his career working on the railroad. We have located no military record for him during the War Between the States.
Shown in the 1880 Census was a 19 year old white female servant named Phoebe Roberts living in the household, which probably indicates some degree affluence for the family.

Notes for ALFRED LANSING SHARPE:
Alfred, known as Fred, began work as a boy telegraph operator for the Erie Railroad, which is natural, his father having work for that railroad as well. Following that, we as employed by the Cleveland, Lorain & Wheeling Railroad, then with the Gould System.
55 Carpenter Family
He is named for his Uncle Alfred Lansing Kellogg, brother of his mother. That uncle's name was derived from two of the great uncles Alfred had in the Kellogg family.
He migrated from Ravenna, Ohio to Georgetown, Texas in 1882. By 1880, at age 22, he no longer was listed in the household headed by his father, John Elsefer Sharp II, according to the Census. He embarked in the hardware, implement and vehicle business in Georgetown in 1892.
We understand that his son, John E. "Jack" Oakley was born in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio in 1889. We do not know whether Fred and Lucy resided back in Ohio about that time, or whether the birth took place while they momentarily visited back in Ohio.
Fred's second son, Alfred Lansing Sharpe, Jr., died on Fred's 33rd birthday, when the son was just less than six months old. Fred's wife, Lucy, died nine months later. We have no information about the cause of either of the two deaths, nor whether the causes of death had any relationship.
In early 1894, Fred was included in a new six member Board of Directors to oversee the publication of the town's newspaper, the "Williamson County Sun," a publication that still publishes today. (Source: Land of Good Water, Page 263)
Fred relocated to El Paso County, Texas about 1899 to take up ranching. This was cutting edge adventure, as the county had only been organized since 1850. He became very successful at this endeavor and was particularly known for his ability to supervise effectively the many workers, young and old, that were needed. His U Bar Ranch was near the town of San Elizario and was along the Rio Grande River, the river bordering the US with Mexico. The ranch was near the small town of Ysleta, which is the oldest town recognized in what is now the State of Texas, having had its beginnings attributed at about 1682. They resided in the city of El Paso. He apparently continued a law practice in Williamson County while residing in El Paso County, as his name appeared on numerous property transactions filed there as late as 1905, showing him as a Trustee.
An aside note is appropriate at this point, to recognize that the first Thanksgiving celebration to take place on ground that ultimately became the United States happened on April 28, 1598, twenty-two years earlier than the Plymouth Colony celebration. It was a group of Spaniards, led by the Spanish explorer, Juan de Onate, that feasted on the banks of the Rio Grande River after arriving near what now is El Paso, Texas. They had just made it through a 350 mile trek from Santa Barbara, Mexico, across the Chihauhuan Desert, so they had plenty to celebrate. In 1990, the Texas Legislature passed a resolution recognizing San Elizario, Texas, on the outskirts of El Paso, as the site of the first true Thanksgiving. This is where Fred's ranch was developed and thrived.
Source:"Texas Curiosities" by John Kelso, The Globe Pequot Press, Builford, Connecticut, 2000, page 160.
It perhaps can be said (with tongue in cheek) that Fred started the Republican Party revolution in Texas. He was elected to the twenty-ninth Texas Legislature from district #100
56 Carpenter Family encompassing El Paso County in 1904. He was the only Republican to win any race in El Paso County, and this Legislative position was taken with a 1,028 to 1,050 vote (22 vote margin - 50.5%). He won seven out of twelve precincts. These were the out-of-the-city precincts that carried him to victory.
Source: The El Paso Evening News, Wednesday, November 9, 1904.
I took occasion to browse the microfilm files of the El Paso Evening News for a couple of months leading up to the 1904 election day. It can be said that the newspaper was overtly a Democratic Party supporter, actually endorsing the Party as a whole in its print. There were numerous articles over those months about Democratic Party activity and meetings. However there was no mention of Republican Party candidates or activities, except for an occasional mention of the Presidential race, with Theodore Roosevelt running for what would be his successful second term. The article reporting the election news on November 9 was headlined, "Patrick A. Dwyer only Democrat who lost." The upset of Mr. Dwyer was acclaimed with awe and surprise. Words from his interview were quoted and quite a bit on narrative was given from the newspaper. Sharpe's name was mentioned only three times: (1) stating who beat Dwyer, (2) in a quote of Dwyer saying he'd sent a congretulatory telegram to Sharpe and (3) the precinct vote table. There was no lauding of Mr. Sharpe by this Democratic newspaper!
It is reported that he was the first Republican elected to a Texas state level office since the days of post Civil War Reconstruction period. It is also reported that he authored the first anti- gambling legislation adopted by the Texas Legislature. The vitality of that bill was tested and sustained by the Texas Supreme Court, thereby placing into the hands of law enforcement officers a reliable instrument to support their arrests. A water irrigation bill was also authored by Alfred and passed. Legislative commentary claims these were two of the most important bills of that Legislative session, and that their success attested to the legislative skill plied by Representative Sharpe. There was a called session of that 29th legislature that met April 15- May 14, 1905. The Governor was S. W. T. Lanham and the Lt. Governor was George D. Neal.
Source: "Members of the Texas Legislature, 1845 - 1962, Editor Will L. Smith, publisher the State of Texas, pages 207 and 209.
He served only part of one term, as he resigned December 22, 1905 to receive an appointment from President Theodore Roosevelt to be the Collector of Customs at the Port of El Paso. This was considered one of the most important federal positions in all of Texas.
Fred continued to serve the Federal Government in the capacity of Collector of Customs at El Paso during the Presidential administration of William Howard Taft (1909-1913), a fellow Republican who, like Fred, also hailed from Ohio. Fred's re-nomination as Collector of Customs in 1910 by the Senate of the United States is documented in an issue of the Wichita Falls newspaper I read at the Archives at the University of Texas (dumb me .... I failed to note the date, page and publication name). President Taft's daughter-in-law, Eleanor Kellogg Chase Taft, was the sixth cousin, once removed to Fred.
57 Carpenter Family
A picture of 1910 El Paso seen in the pages of some of the "Times-Herald" issues show the increasing incidents of automobile accidents there. Lots of Democratic Party and Republican Party activities are reported in the paper. A cencus of churches in the community are shown:
5Baptist Churches 4Presbyterian Churches 3Methodist Churches 2Episcopal Churches 1Congregational Church 1Disciples of Christ - Christian 3Roman Catholic Churches 2Lutheran Churches 1Non-Denominational Church 1Salvation Army 1Y.M.C.A
Others religions 2Christian Science 2Synagogues
Fred is reported as shooting his young adult daughter, Holland, wounding her in the head, though I cannot locate documentation. He is said to have turned the handgun upon himself with a fatal shot. This took place alledged in 1916 in New York state, perhaps in Binghamton where other Sharp(e) relatives resided. The oral tradition, though undocumented, is that Alfred experienced financial difficulties in Texas, and went to Binghamton, New York to work with his first cousin (once removed), Willis Sharpe Kilmer, the patented medicine success. Presumably, the financial distress was an element in the tragic shootings, though that is not clear. Holland married a Mr. Woodhull and she lived the rest of her life in San Antonio, Texas.

Notes for JOHN E. OAKLEY SHARPE:
Jack became an actor and spend much of his life in California. He took his mother's maiden name as his stage Surname, being known as Jack Oakley.
He was born on the very same day as Washington became the 42nd state. He spent some time living with his family in Jeff Davis County and in El Paso, El Paso County, Texas. These citations were in the Census reports for those locations in 1900 and 1910, when he was ages 10 and 20. The rest of his life was on the West Coast as far as we know.
60 Carpenter Family
A browse through some El Paso newspapers of 1910, when Jack was age 21, showed something of the social establishment which the Sharpe family apparently enjoyed. There is a report in the El Paso Times-Herald of August 19 about a visiting New York guest Jack had out at the family's ranch by the name of Bruce Cortelyou. He was the son of former Postmaster General and Secretary of the Interior, George B. Cortelyou. At that point, the newspaper identified him still as John O. Sharpe.
Cortelyou, George Bruce (kôr't?lyu) , (1862–1940), American public official and business executive, b. New York City. He taught school, and after learning stenography, he became secretary to several New York City and federal officials. Appointed (1895) stenographer to President Cleveland, Cortelyou became secretary to Presidents McKinley (1900) and Theodore Roosevelt (1901). He also served under Roosevelt as Secretary of Commerce and Labor (1903–4), Postmaster General (1905–7), and Secretary of the Treasury (1907–9). He then left government service and became prominent as an executive of public-utility companies. Such were the family friends of the Sharpe's.
Source: http://www.answers.com/topic/george-b-cortelyou
The 1920 Census shows him listed under the name of Jack Oakley. He was shown as an actor, married to an actress by the name of Ann. She had an age indicated as 37 and his age was indicated as 35. According to our knowledge, he really was age 30. One can only conjecture why the older age was given to the Census taker. It might have something to do with her age being so much older than his. The household was show in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California. Their residence is show as being owned by them, rather than rented. However, it does not indicate whether any mortgage was on it or not.

Notes for ANN:
Ann first shows in the family as the wife of John E. Oakley Sharpe. However, the name her husband used by that time was his state name as an actor, Jack Oakley. This is what is reflected in the 1920 Census of their household in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California.
The Census says that she is age 37 at that point, and that she was born in
61 Carpenter Family
California. It says that her father was born in Missouri and her mother was born in Kentucky.

DWIGHT ELSEFER11 SHARPE (SARAH LAVENNA10 KELLOGG, LANSING9, BRADFORD8, MARY7 STEELE, EBENEZER6, MELETIAH5 BRADFORD, WILLIAM4, ALICE3 CARPENTER, ALEXANDER2, WILLIAM O.1) was born 1862 in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio, and died 1932. He married EVA GRACE JONES, daughter of DAVID W. JONES. She was born 1861 in Chicago, Illinois (?), and died 1943.
Notes for DWIGHT ELSEFER SHARPE:
Dwight was one of three brothers who migrated from home in Ravenna, Ohio to other states. Dwight located in Chicago, and brothers Alfred and Henry (Harry) went to Georgetown, Texas. Dates are unknown but the migrations were all thought to be in the 1890's. One interesting aspect of this family that occurred at this stage in the lineage was that all of the references to these three brothers back home in Ohio spelled their last name as Sharp. All of the references of their names recorded subsequently displayed the last name as Sharpe. We have no idea why the "e" was added. With a bit of humor, some of us say it's because we're from the educated part of the family!

HARRY SETH11 SHARPE (SARAH LAVENNA10 KELLOGG, LANSING9, BRADFORD8, MARY7 STEELE, EBENEZER6, MELETIAH5 BRADFORD, WILLIAM4, ALICE3 CARPENTER, ALEXANDER2, WILLIAM O.1) was born Aug 26, 1874 in Ravenna, Portage County, Ohio, and died Mar 20, 1951 in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas. He married MATTIE DE NOAILLES SIMONS Jun 07, 1900 in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas113, daughter of JAMES SIMONS and CHARRIE EUBANK. She was born Aug 20, 1876 in Taylor, Williamson County, Texas, and died Feb 22, 1944 in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas.
Notes for HARRY SETH SHARPE:
His birth record at the Portage County Courthouse in Ravenna reports his name as Henry
63 Carpenter Family
Seth Sharp. Harry is the English diminutive for Henry, which apparently he used through out his life, and by which he named one of his two sons and by which a grand son is named. In all references to his name in Texas, Harry has been the operative name used. Harry is my paternal grandfather.
The year that Harry was born was the year that national leaders Herbert Hoover and Winston Churchill were born. Verdi's "Requiem" was composed in Milan, Italy, as was Brahms' "Hungarian Dances" composed. And the first zoo in America was established in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Harry was born the same year as Thomas J. Watson, Sr., (2/17/1874 - 6/19/1956), the American industrialist who built IBM (International Business Machines, Inc.). It is of interest that on Mr. Watson's 122nd birthday, World chess champion Garry Kasparov beat the IBM supercomputer ''Deep Blue,'' winning a six-game match in Philadelphia. It took a long time to get the best of Mr. Watson's company! But, do not dispair. Two years later, Deep Blue came back to beat Mr. Kasparov! Of course, I like this story, as IBM was my employer in 1957-58 and in 1962-69.

Harry was born the same year as was John D. Rockefeller Jr. (1/29/1874 - 5/11/1960), the American philanthropist. It is of passing interest to our family that John's father, John D. Rockefeller Sr., had a connection to Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, where Harry later was to settle and have his family. The First Baptist Church at 1001 Main Street was immediate next door neighbors to the Sharpe home, 1005 Main Street, and ultimately, after the 1951 death of my grandfather, the family sold the home and its large lot to the church for expansion. The thing of interest is that the stories of the First Baptist Church published in the Sesquicentennial History of Williamson County (1986, Williamson County Son Publishers) indicates that John D. Rockefeller, Sr. donated to the church the bell that was used in its tower. However, Papa Sharpe (Harry S.) must have listened to the church bell ringing thousands of times without realizing it was donated by the second great grand nephew of Philip Rockefeller, husband of Carthrina Sharp, his great aunt, who married Philip in 1768.
Harry came to Texas about 1895 at age 21, settling in Georgetown, Williamson County, a town that had been established in 1848 and still is the county seat. He worked for the Railroad Express Company a long time. A part of his later occupational life was working in the Williamson County Tax Collector's office. Five years after arriving, Harry married a local Williamson County girl from nearby Taylor, Mattie de Noailles Simons.
He is reported having served in the U.S. military in the Spanish American War. It was the conflict that marked the emergence of the United States as a world power. This brief conflict between the United States and Spain took place between April and August 1898, over the issue of the liberation of Cuba. In the course of the war, the United States won possessison of
64 Carpenter Family
Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Philippine Islands. My son, Todd Wittman Sharpe, has a telescope I've handed down to him which we believe was used by Harry in that Spanish American War. Harry is Todd's great grandfather.
Harry was Lutheran, hearkening back to our original Sharp ancestor, Otto Scherp, and Mattie was from the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). They combined and joined the First Presbyterian Church in 1903 upon statement of their faith in Jesus Christ. Both of their sons were baptized there and later made teenage professions of faith in that church.
Though I don't know what his business associates called him (probably just "Harry"), he was always known in the context of the family and in my recollection as Papa Sharpe. In fact, I had such fond association with Papa Sharpe that it was chosen as the name by which I asked my grand children to address me.
The Census in 1910 for Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas sites the occupation of Harry as a Deputy Sheriff. The Census of 1920 describes his occupation as Deputy Tax Collector, Williamson County Courthouse. The 1930 Census says his occupation was that of Accountant at the City Collector's Office.
There was an out building behind their home at 1005 Main Street. It was called the Potato House. It was the place where Mattie pursued her home industry of potato chip business during the 1930's. It was the depression years and many people had to be creative to sustain their families. It became the retreat house for Papa Sharpe in his old age, particularly after he was a widower. Sort of his "office" away from the house where he could be on his own. I remember making visits to that back house to the kindly old grandfather and hearing him tell of his stories about the town and life in general. He would sit there amidst the swirl of the pipe tobacco smoke and spin his yarns.
The most fascinating placed around the large back yard of Papa Sharpe was the unusually long garage. It could be entered from the back yard of the house on Main Street, but it stretched out behind the neighboring corner house and opened onto the side street. That was a shortcut through which my cousins, Harry and Johnny, and I would go to get to the public park a block or so away for fun and play. The garage was filled with treasures of old pieces of various kinds of machinery, tools and miscellaneous parts. It was a marvel in which to explore.
Papa Sharpe's son, Harry Simons (known as "Dee Dee"), and family lived with them in the old Sharpe home as one big community home. Ultimately, after Papa Sharpe died, the family relented to the urgings of the First Baptist Church next door on the north side to sell the home to the church for its expansion.
It is of interest to note that John D. Rockefellow, Sr., the world-known oil industrialist, donated the church bell to that First Baptist Church. The Sharpe's did not realize it while they were neighbors, but Rockefellow was the fourth cousin, twice removed of Harry's great Uncle Johann Philip Rockefeller, husband of Carthrina Sharp.
(Source: The First Baptist Church of Georgetown by Sharon Ducan, an article appearing in the "Williamson County, Texas Sesquicentennial History" 1986.)
65 Carpenter Family
The donation is also told in the "Williamson County, Texas, Its History & Its People, by Mrs. Jean Shroyer and Mrs. Hazel Hood, Williamson Genealogical Society, Inc. Round Rock, Texas, 1985, page 21.) We do not know the circumstances which brought Rockefellow to know about the need and to donate a bell to the First Baptist Church of Georgetown. My visit in 2005 to the Main Street Baptist Church resulted in my being told that an old time member's recollection was simply that another member took it upon his or her self to write a letter of request to Mr. Rockefeller for the bell. Must have been a well worded letter!
The church's initial use of the house was for its children's ministries. Later, new buildings replaced the old Sharpe home. The First Baptist Church relocated in later years to a suburban place and the original church remained in operation under a new name cited above.
Harry died the year the 22nd amendment to the U. S. Constitution was passed, limiting the service in the office of President to two terms. It was the year J. D. Salinger published "The Catcher in the Rye," and the "Caine Mutiny" by Herman Wouk earned a Pulitzer Prize.

Notes for MATTIE DE NOAILLES SIMONS:
Mattie was born in our nation's centennial year. Novelist Jack London was born. Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone, and the National Baseball League was founded.

Mattie was born the year that Alexander Graham Bell received a patent for the telephone on March 7, 1876.
Source:http://www.lucidcafe.com/library/96mar/bell.html
Mattie had that beautiful French middle name of de Noailles. It apparently came from her grandmother, Anastasia de Noailles Lafayette Hewlett. Also that lovely French name was passed on to her grandaughter, Martha de Noailles Sharpe, who was my sister. Indeed, Mattie's brother, Verner, named a daughter, de Noailles Anistasias Simons. The source of that name in this non-French family is a mystery. However, oral tradition has it that the name was taken from a friend of the family. If such is true, that friend propably was a friend to Lemuel Green Hewlett or Rebecca J. Harvey, the parents living in Hopkins County, Kentucky at the time of the birth of Anastasia de Noailles Lafayette Hewlett (Fannie) and all of her siblings.
Mattie lost her Mother when she was only two months old. Her Mother was only age 20. We do not know the cause of this premature death. Mattie's Father remarried about five years later, but we do not know who, if anybody else, took up the maternal duties for Mattie and older brother, Verner, till the remarriage. It may have been totally a single-parent task by Jim Simons to care for his son and daughter.
After Jim remarried Martha Townes, they bore five sons and a daughter, which were half- siblings for Mattie and her brother, Verner. Jim, Martha and the family moved to Fort Worth in 1908, but that was eight years after Mattie married Harry Sharpe. Mattie and her subsequent family continued to live in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas.
Mattie was a strong wife, mother and was industrious around the house. During the 1930's, when the nation was in the throws of a national economic depression, she operated two businesses out of their home.
First, she cooked and packaged potato chips for sale. They had a little out building behind their home that was called the Potato House. The potate chip inventor was a cook named George Crum, alledgedly in August 1853. From many brief tellings, that is all you find out about the man. But other sources mention his racial background, e.g. "Crum was part Indian, part black, a former guide in the Adirondacks, and in his own way a rather colorful figure in this area" (Gribb 1975). Other times only his Indian heritage is mentioned (Snack Food Association 1987; Barrett 1941). He is occasionally mentioned in histories of significant African-American figures, but not as often in collections dealing with native Americans. There appears little doubt that he actually existed, was a cook at Moon's Lake House on Saratoga Lake and later purchased his own restaurant on the lake.

Next, she created a boarding house setting whereby she served noon time meals to paying customers. Their home was just a few short walking blocks from the Williamson County Courthouse square, and so much of the business and courthouse community patronized this food service. Their clientele included doctors, lawyers and judges.
67 Carpenter Family
Mattie lived a full and loving life. She died in 1944 when the nation was in the concluding throws of World War II. The June 6th lading on Normandy shores was made. The Battle of the Bulge took place. Tennessee Williams wrote the "Glass Menagerie." The popular songs that year were "Don't Fence me In," Rum and Coca Cola," and "Sentimental Journey."
(Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard Grun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, pages 522-523)
I remember Mattie in a couple of my family's visits to Georgetown in the early 1940's. My recollections of her are from fond memories. Mattie was a credit, both to the Simons family and to the Sharpe family.

Notes for REV. DWIGHT ALFRED SHARPE:
This is the story of my father.
The guiding spiritual light in the family for Dwight's early years was his Mother, who saw to it that he had an involved and effective life in the First Presbyterian Church there in Georgetown. The Williamson County Sun newspaper issue of June 7, 1979, published an extensive full page article and pictures on page 11 about the 125th recognition of the church's anniversary. Dwight was cited as being one of only three members of that church who went into the pastoral ministry over the 125 year time.
Dwight's approval for candidacy for the Gospel Ministry was given by the Session of that church in 1922, and I have a photocopy of the Minutes of the Session meeting. This was just after the retirement of Rev. M. C. Hutton, who was cited as one of the most effective pastors in that church's history, serving some 35 years from 1886 till 1921. He was the pastor who we understand had influence and encouragement to Dwight in his thinking and feeling a call to the ministry. The minutes were much more descriptive about the praisable characteristics of Dwight than typical minutes are in today's world of just recording that the action was approved. Those details are a little later in this narrative.
Dwight was born in the year (in fact, just two days before) that President William McKinley was assassinated by an anarchist and was succeeded by Theodore Roosevelt. It was the same year the Social Revolutionary Party was founded in Russia, later to be what we came to know as Communism. Film producer Walt Disney was born this year. Industrialist J. P. Morgan organized the U. S Steel Corporation and the first American Bowing Club tournament was held in Chicago. (Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard Grun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, pages 454-455) And he was born a few monts after England's Queen Victoria died in January.
The famous Jazz player, Louis Armstrong was born the year of Dwight's birth. Two days before Dwight was born, Vice President Theodore Roosevelt's famous advice, ''Speak softly and carry a big stick,'' was offered in a speech at the Minnesota State Fair.
On Dwight's 17th birthday, the beginning of his senior year in High School, September 4, 1918, there was the birth of Paul Harvey, who later would become a world-wide known radio commentator, even still broadcasting in 2005 as Paul celebrated his 87th birthday.
Dwight was President of his 1918 High School graduating class in Georgetown, Texas. He also was Business Manager of the School Annual, Salutatorian of his class, Vice President of the Literary Society, had a role in the Senior Play and lettered two years on the track team. In the yearbook, the Senior Class prophesy about him was to become a famous Texas lawyer! He created a life-long bond of friendship with Walter Johnson, a neighbor peer who was physically disabled and required personal tutoring during junior high and high school years, and Dwight gave generously of his time. Walter married a woman who taught school and
76 Carpenter Family they lived a wonderful life in the Hill Country of Texas on one of those clear spring fed creeks. We visited them several times over the years.
The high school data was made available to me when Mr. Tass Waterston, a member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church, visited me soon after my 1982 arrival on the staff of that church. He brought the 1918 High School Yearbook of his and I was able to photo copy relevant pages. Tass was a "best friend" and the same age as my father's younger brother as they all grew up in Georgetown. Tass has now passed on to graduation to heaven, but I was able to get to know his son, Tom Lee Waterston, and his grandsons, Tass Waterston II and Ted Waterston. Ted and his family has continued as a Deacon at Highland Park Presbyterian Church, whereas the rest of the family has moved out of town by now.
Dwight worked in a general and grocery store, and the many migrant workers created the environment in which he learned to converse in Spanish pretty well. This enabled him in later years to preach occasionally for a Hispanic congregations.
He attended for one year the University of Kentucky, the state which had been his mother's family's home from where they migrated to Texas. While attending Kentucky, he stayed with a relative of his mother's, in a sense, a man called Uncle Tom Vance. Next, he attended for a year Southwestern University, a Methodist institution located in his hometown of Georgetown. Dwight's photograph is in the 1921 Southwestern University yearbook that my niece, Nancy Lea Ehlers Reeves, now has from materials she received after her Mom, Martha de Noailles Sharpe Ehlers, died. Martha is a daughter of Dwight's.
The 1920 U. S. Census for Lexington, Fayette County, Kentucky has him living with the family of John T. Vance, age 62, whose wife's name was Glenna (legibility question), also age 62, and a 26 year old daughter named Mary. Possibly, the middle initial of "T" is for the Tom that we have understood was the home where Dwight resided while at school. This Mr. Vance would have been born in 1858. The Census entry shows Mr. Vance was born in Texas, but that he father and mother were born in Kentucky. The 1860 Census of Lexington, Burleson County, Texas shows him in the house of Charles Vance, with Tom being age three.
It is curious to know that a Mr. Charles P. Vance moved from Kentucky to Texas as around 1854, settling initially in Circleville where the Alfred Simons family settled, coming from Kentucky. James A. Simons, born in Kentucky in 1852, and whose family came to Circleville in 1852, later, as an adult, went into mercantile business with Mr. Vance, both in Circleville and later in Taylor. Both of these towns are in Williamson County, Texas.
Since Mr. John T. Vance with whom Dwight lived in Kentucky in 1920 was born in 1858 in Texas, it can be assumed that John T. Vance was a son of Charles P. Vance, and a brother to the Vance daughter, Sarah. If that kind of family connection does not exist, we do not have any other logical reason that Dwight went to Kentucky and lodged with the Vances in Lexington. I think the set of relationships conjectured are likely, and I am recording them in my records until and unless other proof surfaces. It is interesting that the Vance families had connections to towns named Lexington, both in Kentucky and in Texas. Since their move to Texas in the early 1850's was when so many communities were just being established, one wonders if one name influenced the other.
77 Carpenter Family
The Minutes of the Session, July 26, 1922, record the declarations of his presence before them, seeking endorsement for his candidacy:
"Mr. D. A. Sharpe, a communing member of this, the Georgetown Presbyterian Church (as it was called then), presented himself before the Session and communicated the fact that he felt a call from the Holy Sprit to enter the Gospel Ministry and to devote his whole time, first to the preparation for such work, and then to the active ministry in the Presbyterian Church in the United States. After an examination of Brother Sharpe, touching his determination to enter the ministry, the sureness of his call by the Holy Spirit, and his need of financial aid in prosecuting his studies and receiving the Seminary courses, the Session, by a unanimous vote, gives unanimous testimony to his good, moral character, to the fact that he is a faithful, consecrated and active communicating member of the Georgetown Presbyterian Church in good standing and we recommend him to the Presbytery of Central Texas for reception under its care as a fit candidate for the Gospel Ministry, and ask the Presbytery to furnish and secure for him such financial aid as may be required for the prosecution of his studies in the University of Texas and the Presbyterian Seminary."
Dwight graduated from the University of Texas in 1925 and from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1926.
He spent his career continuously serving, mostly in Texas, as pastor of churches in this order: Laredo (1926), Little Rock (Arkansas - 1929), Ballinger (1935), Houston (1941), Sweetwater (1951), Dallas (1954), San Antonio (1958), Ruidoso (New Mexico-1963), and finally at Houston (1965) for a new church development. In several of these cities, he was a member of Rotary International, a community service organization of business and professional people associated across the world. From my memory, they included Dallas (Fair Park Club), Sweetwater and San Antonio, and probably included other communities without my recollection or knowledge.
After arriving on staff here at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in 1982, I was visited by an Elder of the church, Mr. Austin B. Watson. He gave me a telephone directory page, complete with photographs of those listed, of the 1955 Fair Park Rotary Club of Dallas. Austin, still a member of that club, had been there when my father was a member. It was so nice of him to give me the page where my Dad was listed, along with his photograph. Austin went on to join Dwight in heaven in 2003.
Dwight was a reconciler and a rebuilder of churches. Many of his calls were to churches that had experienced some sort of set back in the immediate past, and he came to get things mended in the church's ministries.
A couple at Trinity Church in Houston went to the mission field in the Belgium Congo 1951-1968. Eric S. Bolton was an architect and his wife, Ruth Lomig Bolton, was an administration worker. Missions was a strong emphasis for Dwight's ministry and for Texas Presbyterian Churches.
Retired missionary Winnifred K. Vass compiled a roster in 1986 of all 427 Presbyterian missionaries who had served over the years in the Presbyterian Congo Mission. Texas was represented by 65 (15%) of all who had gone from 30 states. This certainly is a
78 Carpenter Family disproportionately large share from Texas, representing more than twice what would be the average. Winney, spent her retired life as a member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church and she, along with her missionary husband, Lachlin Vass, live at Presbyterian Village North in Dallas, a retirement community that the people of Highland Park Presbyterian Church developed. Lach was on the HPPC Business Office staff when I arrived, then he retired in 1983. I selected his son-in-law, Mr. Todd W. Rutenbar, to take Lach's place, working with me as my Assistant Business Manager. Todd was still working with there when I retired in 2004. Lach and Winnie still lived at PVN.
My Father's last call in the ministry was to be the establishing evangelist for a new church development in Houston, Texas under what then was known as Brazos Presbytery (now known as New Covenant Presbytery). He assumed the position of Evangelist and organizing pastor for the Presbytery for the church to be Gulf Meadows Presbyterian Church at 8000 Fuqua Street at Ballantine in distant southeast Houston. He assumed the post on April 3, 1966 and got a good start, even having a handful of members who formerly were at Lawndale Presbyterian Church in earlier years (1941-51) when he pastored there. Unfortunately, the pastor following him experienced misconduct problems that ultimately resulted in the church disbanding. The church had had a good start, but was not yet strong enough to survive such a bump in the road. I think that pastor got too organized. It was said he, a married man, ran away with the organist! Though I never met that pastor, he was the brother of a young lady I dated a few times while we were students at Austin College in Sherman, Texas. Both she and her husband became good, productive members of a prominent church in Houston and assumed leadership roles, but I won't mention her name here after I've described unfortunate things about her brother.
His retirement invitation letter, dated April 8, 1968, received by various members of our family came from Reuben Meeks, Committee Chairman at the Gulf Meadows Presbytery Church. His retirement party was the afternoon of April 28, 1968 at the church. It was a wonderful occasion for our family to attend. This was the conclusion of forty two years as a Presbyterian pastor. Suzanne and I, along with our children (Todd wasn't born yet), were there.
Dwight and Martha had purchased a home for retirement in San Antonio (Alamo Heights). Since it was purchased more than a year prior to planned retirement, it was leased. Unfortunately, when they finally retired, the renters, for some reason not acceptable to Dwight and Martha, were unable to vacate the house on time. Dwight and Martha had to make temporary digs do till they could get over this frustration.
This was a their last home and a lovely home it was in a lovely neighborhood of San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas. Actually it was in a suburb named Alamo Heights, a city surrounded by San Antonio. They were just two blocks from the Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church, which they made as their church home. He was used to teach an Adult Sunday School Class up until about six months prior to his death at age 80, which have him good outlets to use his pastoral gifts. The pastoral staff also used him for visitation and other duties useful for the ministry of the church. This was volunteer work, to my knowledge, and a labor of love for him.
His primary hobby through many of the years of his life was photography. It manifested
79 Carpenter Family itself to most people through the hundreds of unique Christmas cards with family members that he created for over 30 years. He used the typewriter much for his correspondence, Bible study and sermon preparation. It was mostly an ancient Underwood manual typewriter, on which he typed using what we laughingly called the Bible Method .... he would seek and find! He may have been one of the fastest typists using only the index fingers of his two hands that I have ever witnessed. Finally, around the mid 1970's, he acquired a portable electric typewriter from Sears!
He was a prolific reader, both of periodicals and books. He held his children to high standards for academic achievement, and that was successful for his daughters.
Dwight involved himself in the communities where the family lived. He would join civic organizations and do joint ministries with other churches. He often became known in the public media, as evidenced by this delightful column by Renwicke Cary in the "San Antonio Light" newspaper issue of August 4, 1963:
"Back to the word 'breeches' (pounced britches by many Texans) and its use in several places in different versions of the Bible. Rev. Dwight A. Sharpe, pastor of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church, notes there was one edition of the Geneva Bible (1560) that became popularly known as the 'breeches Bible." This because 'breeches' appeared in Genesis 3:7. The verse concluded: 'And they (Adam and Eve) sewed fig tree leaves together and made them breeches As a matter of fact, however, Sharpe says, the same rendering of the verse was found in Wycliffe Bible (1380).
"Still on the subject of Bibles of the centuries past, we are reminded that the first printed copy of the whole Bible was the Coverdale Bible of 1535. Sharpe says: 'It's a credit to the printers that there were few typographical errors in the early Bibles.' Even so, he reports, in the second edition of the Geneva Bible (1562), Matthew 5:9 was made to read: 'Blessed are the placemakers, instead of peacemakers.' As a consequence, collectors designated this as the 'Placemaker Bible.' Sharpe also tells of a 'Printer's Bible,' explaining: 'This was the name applied to the King James edition of 1653 because in Psalms 119:161, King David was made to say: 'Printers have persecuted me without cause.' It should have read, 'princes,' of course."
Both Dwight and Martha were very quiet regarding the subject of politics. They felt that whatever political views they held should not become known to the public of their congregation, since ministry was still to be given to people of all political persuasions. They did not even allow me to know how they voted or what political party they supported until well into my adult life, after I became an active Republican. Dad told me that they had always voted Republican, and living in what was virtually an all Democratic Party state in Texas most of their lives, it was best for his ministry to keep that to themselves. I recall that many of our close family friends were active Democrats and Labor Union members (particularly in the Houston years of the 1940's) and that did not affect our opportunity to have close Christian relationships with them.
When Dwight died, he was found in bed on August 8, 1981. That has been the official published date of his death. However, judging from when it was reported he was last seen by neighbors and by the dates on accumulated newspapers and mail at his home, he apparently passed away in his sleep on the night of Sunday, August 2nd, two years to the day that Martha
80 Carpenter Family also went to be with our Lord in her sleep. He lacked a month of reaching his 80th birthday. Dwight's funeral was conducted by the Rev. Mr. Newton Cox, pastor of the Alamo Heights Presbyterian Church of San Antonio, Texas, and assisted by an old friend of Dwight's, a retired minister, the Rev. Mr. John Parse. The funeral was at the church at 10:00 AM on August 12, and the grave side service was later in the day in Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas, some 110 miles away. He rested near his wife, his parents and other relatives at the Odd Fellows Cemetery, near the campus of Southwestern University, the oldest continuously operating school of higher learning in Texas, operated by the Methodist Church. This is the college where he attended his sophomore year, that his great grand daughter, Victoria (Vicky) Lea Reeves attended, having entered as a freshman in 2003.
On October 20, 1981, the Session of Trinity Presbyterian Church, Houston, Texas, passed a resolution that on Sunday, November 15, Dwight would be honored and memorialized for his faithful service of ten years there with the dedication of a pew. His daughter, Martha, and her husband, Vic, attended the dedication service on November 15, 1981 at the church to represent the family. During his ministry there, according to the Sessional Resolution, Dwight received 312 members by transfer of church membership, 164 members by profession of faith in Jesus Christ (I was one of those on Palm Sunday, 1951!), baptizing 91 of those, baptizing 99 infants and receiving 11 of their parents on profession of faith at the same time. Under his ministry, three young men made commitments to the Gospel Ministry and one couple went to the mission field in the Congo. He administered infant baptism to all nine of his grand children.
Dwight lived to see one of his great grand children, Matthew, son of Kevin and Nancy Reeves. Nancy is the daughter of Dwight's daughter, Martha. We are proud of Matthew in the family sense, as he married Libby and they went on to give issue to the first eighth generation Texan member of our family in 2005, Benjamin Thomas Reeves.
Dwight Alfred Sharpe was a man of unquestioned integrity and was known as a man with a pastor's heart. He provided well for his family, raising children who were a credit to their parents' Christian values.

Notes for MARTHA DIXON CHAPMAN:
My mother, Martha, was born the year that Theodore Roosevelt had his first election to the Presidency of the United States, after having succeeding William McKinley who was assassinated while President. This was the year that author Jack London published "The Sea- Wolf." Puccini's "Madame Butterfly" opera opened in Milan, Italy. Work began on the Panama Canal. The Rolls-Royce Company was founded in England. Helen Keller graduated from Radcliffe College and the Broadway subway opened in New York City.
(Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard Grun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, pages 456-457)
Martha was born in her Lufkin home at 419 Abney Avenue. Living on a street with your family name is a hint as to the place the family held in the eye of the community. Her church life was in the First Methodist Church. Martha was ages five and 21 when her parents died, which was a hardship. She and her younger brother, Herschell Albert Chapman, were raised after Maggie's 1909 death by their grandmother and grandfather, Martha Jane Dixon Abney and James William Abney. Dr. Chapman, their father, resided with them in the Abney home for a while.
Martha Jane Dixon Abney, Martha's grandmother, was widowed in 1913, and Dr. James Herschell Abney soon moved out from the house. He had been much older than his wife, Maggie, actually being only one year younger than his mother-in-law, Martha Jane Dixon Abney. Family oral tradition reported that he felt it was more appropriate to move out, as it did not reflect the proper appearances for an unmarried man and woman so close in age to be domiciled together. Maggie continued to raise his children, Herschell and Martha, in her home. After Dr. Chapman married the third and last time, to a woman named Josephine, his contacts with the Abney family apparently became somewhat detached, or at least the recording of continuing relationship has not been identified by me.
Martha had a high school teacher of science named Mr. Blevins. It is of interest to know that he also taught me in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas during my ninth grade in 1954, at Alex W. Spence Junior High School. There is also a Miss Bess Wood of Lufkin who taught at that
82 Carpenter Family same Dallas school at the time, and who remembers my being there. She is Lillian's Aunt, Tempy Wood Abney's sister. Bess was born March 17, 1897. In 1987, Bess resided at the Angelina Nursing Home.
Martha attended the University of Texas at Austin, graduating in June of 1925. On the certified copy I have of the information she completed with her application to college, on the blank requesting her home address, said "No Street Address." When you live on the street bearing your family name (Abney) and you are the only "mansion" on it, apparently there is no need for an address back then. You could just address a letter to them in Lufkin! Such were the days!
She was elected a member of the honor society, Phi Beta Kappa, according to the certified college transcript copy, the first scholastic fraternity in America. Phi Beta Kappa was organized at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia on December 5, 1776.
She had a double major in Latin and Greek. She was then engaged to fellow University of Texas student and Austin Theological Presbyterian Seminary student, Dwight Alfred Sharpe. She taught in the Lufkin Public Schools the ensuing year after graduation.
Martha's education was in the classics, which was the usual major for the very few women of that day who were privileged to attend college. Growing out of that refined education was her skill in writing. I cherish the one "love letter" that came into my possession only in recent years that my Mother sent to my Father during the year that she taught school in Lufkin and he completed his Seminary studies in Austin before they married. Here is how the letter of October 20, 1925 went:
"Dearest Sweetheart
"Please forgive me for writing on this paper. I'm in a powerful big hurry and can't hunt for any more. Last night I had so many papers to grade that I got sleepy and went to bed without ever writing to the sweetest person on earth. I thought about you, dearest, between papers and the last thing before I went to sleep, and the first thing this morning. Honey, you're in my heart all the time. I'm going to scribble this off just so it can be mailed this morning, and it won't be late. Tell me if you get it tomorrow morning.
"I'm the happiest thing because I had a sweet letter waiting for me from your mother yesterday when I came in from school. Dwight, already I just love her to death. Don't tell your father, but she said when he read my first letter, he said "Well, I'm kinda left out on this deal." She said he was a little jealous, but said she was to send his love anyway. Now I just believe I will write him a little note or letter all to himself. I may enclose it with your next letter and you can give it to him when you pass through Georgetown Saturday. Is that all right? You know how easy it is for women to talk to each other, but because I'd never met him, I just felt a timidity in writing.
"The funny thing about it is that I was writing to your mother the same time she was writing to me. Guess she received mine yesterday too.
83 Carpenter Family
"Sweetheart, love me lots and don't blame me for writing like this. I just had so much work. I'll promise never to let it happen again. I'll write again tomorrow night.
"Must hurry up and eat breakfast now. Want to eat with me? I built the fire this morning.
Lovingly, Your own Martha"
Well, how's that for good romantic gush! Wonderful!
Serving as wife of the Pastor suited Martha well. She loved living the role and the people loved her doing it. After marriage, her only gainful employment was as a public school teacher in Houston, Harris County, Texas during the World War II years when there were such shortages of people to teach. During her daughters' high school years, she served as adult sponsor for the High School Youth Fellowship at the Central Park Presbyterian Church, located in the 6900 block of Sherman, a couple of blocks east of 75th Street, near Wayside Boulevard. Fondly remembered by me are the summer trips on the weekends when the whole Sharpe family and the Youth Fellowship spent all day Saturdays at Stuart's Beach in Galveston on the Gulf of Mexico. One of my favorite memories were the many times when we went riding on the old fashioned wooden roller coaster!
Reading was also an advocation for Martha. She "screened" much material for Dwight, marking articles and books she though it would be good for him to read. She truly was a helpmate for her husband in all of the best senses of that concept. She was a lady of the South in all of its good senses of culture and heritage. And she was a wonderful mother to me, always holding up the bar for me to climb higher for better things.
Her remains left behind when she graduated to heaven are deposited in the grave site adjacent to her husband in the Georgetown Cemetery, near Southwestern University, Georgetown, Williamson County, Texas.

Marriage Notes for DWIGHT SHARPE and MARTHA CHAPMAN:
Dwight was a 1925 graduated student from the University of Texas, as well as a 1926 graduated student from Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary. Martha lived in the Scottish Rite dormitory, which was immediately next door to the seminary on 27th Street.
84 Carpenter Family
Even today as this is being written, there are several stone benches in the beautifully shaded front yard of the dormitory, and it is upon one of these benches that Dwight is reported to have proposed marriage to Martha, who accepted.
They were married May 31, 1926 in the home of Martha's grandmother, Martha Jane Dixon Abney, who died two years later. Margaret (Maggie) Lavina Abney Chapman, Martha Dixon Chapman's mother, had died when Martha was about 5 years old, and thus her grandmother raised her.
The Abney family were staunch Methodists, and so the officiator at the home wedding was undoubtedly the local Methodist Pastor, but we do not have the name of whomever was the officiating pastor.
This was the year that French impressionist painter Claude Monet died. Author A. A. Milne published "Winnie the Pooh." Duke Ellington's first recordings appeared.

Dee Dee was born the very same year as was John Sirica (3/19/1904 - 8/14/1992), the United States district court judge that presided at the trial of Watergate burglars (1973), an event that toppled the Presidency of Richard M. Nixon.
Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sirica
Dee Dee, as he was known, served in the United States Navy during World War II. After the war, he returned to Georgetown. This was his hometown and the place of his residence his entire life.
He and his wife, Lois, owned and operated the Acme Cleaners and Launderers located on the west side of the town square where the Williamson County Courthouse was the centerpiece of the square. They were affiliated with the First Presbyterian Church of Georgetown.
They lived in the old Sharpe home at 1005 Main Street with his parents, Papa and Mama Sharpe. It was all one big community with three generations living together. It wasn't until after Papa Sharpe died in 1951 that the home was sold to the First Baptist Church next door and a new home was constructed at 1601 Olive, just south of the Southwestern Methodist University.
This home eventually was inherited by their two sons, Harry and Johnny. Johnny bought out Harry's share at a time of financial distress for Harry, and after Johnny's death, the home went to Wanda, his fourth wife.

Marriage Notes for HARRY SHARPE and VIRGIE STAPP:
Lois and Dee Dee married less than a month after Dwight and Martha married. So the Sharpe family promoted all of its sons to matrimony within a month. In 1926, Queen Elizabeth II of England is born. Writers Ernerst Hemingway produced "The Sun Also Rises," and Franz Kafka produced, "The Castle."

Notes for LELAND THORNTON DYSART, JR.:
Leland (or Buddy, as his family knows him) is a Reserve Elder at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas where I have been on staff for 22 years before my 2004 retirement.
Leland also is politically active and has served as a County Delegation Leader for his local delegates to attend the Texas Republican State Convention in 2002. He worked with me in the Senate District #30 Caucus, at which I served as the Temporary Caucus Chairman to get the group going. Leland was so kind to me as to make the motion to make me permanant Chairman, but I declined it in favor or the other man that others had intended to honor with that role.
Leland was born the same day as was Jean Poiret (8/17/1926 - 3/14/1992), the French actor and playwright.

Marriage Notes for PATRICIA FAIN and LELAND DYSART:
Pat talks about her wedding ceremony at the Highland Baptist Church in Dallas, and others in the family:
"This was my parent's church and my Dad was a Deacon there. I was a staunch Baptist person, with both grandfathers being ministers. Buddy was a member of The Incarnation Episcopal and I was a member of Highland Baptist (now Park Cities Presbyterian). Pandora (their daughter) was married at the same place, only as Park Cities Presbyterian Church, wearing my wedding dress. That was a neat thing for us. Now you know everything. It was such fun that Pandora and I were married in the same church--just different denominations.
"I was working as secretary to Ves Box when we got married and Gloria, knowing Buddy wanted to go to Highland Park Presbyterian Church, asked us to teach for the early Childhood Division. Buddy immediately started teaching there with Barbara Cooper, (I don't know if you all were there at the same time) and I joined him when I finished out the year at Highland Baptist."
The memorable day of their wedding, America's first attempt at putting a satellite into orbit blew up on the launch pad at Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Notes for MARTHA DE NOAILLES SHARPE:
The 1927 year of Martha's birth was a whirlwind year for the nation. Frank Billings Kellogg, U.S. Secretary of State, proposed a pact for reunification of the world powers to conclude the loose strings remaining from World War I. It was finally agreed to the following year and became known as the Kellogg-Briand Pact. His accomplishments with that pact earned him the 1929 Nobel Peace Prize. Frank is Martha's sixth cousin, twice removed.
It also was the year Ernest Hemingway wrote his "Men without Women" short stories, Franz Kafka wrote "Amerika," Upton Sinclair wrote "Oil" and Sinclair Lewis wrote "Elmer Gantry." The theater world was stunned with the first talkie movie, "The Jazz Singer," staring Al Jolson. That exciting introduction to audio thrill began with the curtain raising to an empty dark screen, the audience embracing a stillness of silence, which was shattered with the golden-throated voice of Al Jolson saying from the blank screen, "You ain't heard nothing yet!"
For the musical lovers, Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II wrote "Show Boat." Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart wrote "A Connecticut Yankee." The popular songs for 1927 were "Old Man River," "My Blue Heaven," "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" and "Blue Skies."
And Charles Lindbergh flew into the history books of eternity with his non-stop trans- Atlantic flight to France.

On the very day of Martha's birth, TV pioneer Philo T. Farnsworth succeeded in transmitting an image through purely electronic means by using a device called an image dissector.

Martha was born on the 394th birthday of English Queen Elizabeth I, daughter of King Henry VIII and his second of six wives, Anne Boleyn. Martha's sister was Elizabeth Anne. Anne Beleyn's sister, Mary, married William Cary, who would be Elizabeth's uncle. William Cary is Martha's 20th cousin, 13 times removed on our mother's side of the family. On our father's side, he is the seventh cousin, five times removed of Edward Southworth, the first husband of Alice Carpenter, Martha's eighth great grandmother on our father's side. Alice's second husband was of historical significance, being William Bradford, the Goerner of Plymouth Colony in the New World for 33 of the first 35 years after their 1620 arrival on the Mayflower.
William is the second great grandfather of Herbert Pelham, the very first Treasurer of Harvard College in the English Colonies about 1643.
95 Carpenter Family
Martha was born in Laredo, Texas where her father was in his first pastorate as a Presbyterian Minister. It was the First Presbyterian Church.
Martha's middle name, de Noailles, is a strangely beautiful middle name found in this very non-French family. The source of it really is a mystery. However, oral tradition has it that the name was taken from a friend of the family. The name appears as the middle name for Martha's grandmother, Mattie de Noailles Simons Sharpe, as well as in her second great grandmother, Anastasia (Fannie) de Noailles Lafayette Hewlett. If the friend of the family story is correct, the friend was probably that of the parents of Fannie, who were Lemuel Green Hewlett and Rebecca J. Harvey, the parents living in Hopkins County, Kentucky at the time of the birth of Anastasia de Noailles Lafayette Hewlett (Fannie) and all of her six siblings.
Before Martha was three, the family moved to Little Rock, Arkansas in 1929. Her father's call to his third pastorate was to Ballinger, Texas, 1935. These were the depths of the depression days, yet God's providence continued to give adequate sustenance for the family, including having a maid to help with the children and domestic chores of the home and for what was expected of a pastor's home.
By 1941, when the children were three in number, the family moved to Houston, Texas. Martha faired well in school, graduating from San Jacinto High School as Magna Cum Laude. Her academic acumen brought her entrance to Rice Institute, a school of great renown in academics. After a year there, her desire to branch out in life led her to the University of Texas at Austin, the school from which both of her parents had graduated.
It was at Austin that Martha met Victor Marcus Ehlers, Jr. in the context of activities at the Westminster Student Fellowship at the University Presbyterian Church. Vic had completed military service in World War II, and the young couple wanted to marry and get on with life, even before graduation, which they did. What brought me, Martha's little brother, to accepting Vic on to the scene dating her was his bright shiny Ford Coupe convertible! Boy, was it classy. Martha was a member of the Phi Mu Sorority Alumnae and participated in its activities most of her life.
Martha's father conducted the marriage ceremony, which was a significant social occasion at the family's home church. The rehearsal party was hosted by Aunt Edna Dawson, who lived near a matter of several blocks from the Sharpe's.
She was a life long Presbyterian, serving in later years as an ordained Elder. She participated in her church's life where ever she lived, such as in Sunday School, Presbyterian Women, etc. She was a member of the Mothers' Club of Alpha Delta Pi and Alpha Gamma Delta Sororities, and served on the Panhellenic Council. Her love for history was lived out somewhat in her activities as a Docent at the LBJ Library in Austin.
Martha enjoyed domestic engineering, raising her two daughters, both of whom were very talented girls. Martha was widowed over fifteen years. She experienced dementia and coming to live with Nancy's family was necessitated. They lovingly took care of her through the home and through several institutions. She lived back home for much of the last year of her life, though it may have been a couple of years since family members had been able to exchange meaningful conversation. One thing the family did learn was the singing of old time
96 Carpenter Family hymns brought a response of seeming gratitude to her, and so we sang a lot for Martha. She really could not be aware that her daughter, Lynne, succumbed from cancer three months before Martha died.
Her going home service was a celebration of a Christian life with many family and friends together. The woman conducting the service, the Rev. Ms. Kelly Chadwick, was a family friend. I gave a eulogy about her. The service was held at the Weed-Corley-Fish Funeral Home in Austin.

Notes for VICTOR MARCUS EHLERS, JR.:
Vic was born the same day as was born Alicia de Larrocha, Pianist.

Vic grew up in Austin, Travis County, Texas, and was in a prominent Austin family. His father headed the Texas Department of Health for many years, and was a friend of governors and other political personalities. Vic graduated from Austin High School.
He served in the Navy during World War II in the Pacific theater. Post war times brought him back home to Austin and to enroll at the University of Texas. It was the the fellowship of the Westminster Fellowship at University Presbyterian Church that he met his wife to be. Providentially, it was that church where their second daughter, Nancy, served in her first call as an Associate Pastor.
Vic and his friends instantly won the acceptance and admiration of Martha's family as they visited Houston where her family then resided. Vic was a fine young man, richly approved by her parents, and his 1946 Ford convertible won the heart of Martha's 8 year old brother (this writer!).
They were married at the Central Park Presbyterian Church in Houston, which then was situated in the 6900 block of Sherman Avenue in east Houston, near the shipyards. Martha's father officiated at the wedding. Vic took his bride off to a lovely cabin at the Bastrop State
97 Carpenter Family
Park in central Texas.
Vic's major in college, both for his bachelor's degree and his master's, was in the School of Social Work. He was in the first class at the University of Texas School of Social Work that awarded a master's degree. Actually, some years later when their first daughter, Lynne, achieved her master's degree, the school recognized them with honor at an academic banquet as the first parent/child combination to acquire a master's degree there.
Vic's initial work was as a juvenile delinquency officer in moving around from Houston to Tyler to Bryan. He was called to Austin as Director of the Austin Community Council, January 1, 1959 (usually known in later years as the United Fund). Vic was the first executive director of the War on Poverty when the Community Council, as a delegate agency, brought this federal program to Travis County in 1965. The "Austin American Statesman" carried an article July 4, 1969 about Vic's announced resignation to take place September 1. He was to serve as an Assistant Professor on the faculty of the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of Texas, an announcement made public by Dr. Jack Otis, Dean of the School of Social Work. . He was on the staff of the Texas State Department of Health when he died of cancer. He was an Evaluation Specialist for the Research & Demonstration Division of the Office of Research, Demonstration and Evaluation of the Texas Department of Human Resources in the John H. Winters Human Services Center! What a title! No wonder people think government is complicated!
His church life was always active and responsible where ever they lived. He became the Elder of most renown, serving several terms, a reputation earned in the eyes of the members of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church in Austin.
One story of God's provision at the end of his life had to do with the employee life insurance policy with the State of Texas, his last employer. The policy extended life insurance only 60 days beyond when all illness and vacation leave was exhausted and technically he became unable to continue work as an employee. His graduation to heaven occurred on that very last day of policy effectiveness! God's providence is wonderful and without bounds! Martha recieved as his widow $60,000 more than she had thought was due her in life insurance proceeds.
Vic was a dedicated and sensitive husband and father. He was always thoughtful and enjoyed vigorous debate and discussion over social and political issues (usually the same things). He was a life-long Democratic Party adherent, and work in its liberal side throughout the years. In later years, he did seem to take on some more conservative views, but he would not have wanted to admit that publicly (in this writer's opinion).

Notes for ELIZABETH ANNE SHARPE:
Though she was born in Arkansas, she based her claim of being a Texan on the fact that she was conceived while the family still resided in Texas.
Elizabeth's 1929 birth year was stormy. The big economic news was the famous Black Friday when, on October 28, the New York Stock Exchange plummeted by some $26 billion in value of stocks owned by Americans. That was the one event that painted the profiles by which citizens would live for the next decade. America had become the world's leading industrial producer, having a 34.4% of the pie. Second place England come up with 10.4% and third place Germany with 10.3%. And this was the year of Saint Valentine's Day Massacre in Chicago where gangland pundits machine gunned each other on February 14.
Bell Laboratories began their experiments with color television, and Kodak introduced 16 mm color movie film. The popular songs were "Stardust," "Tiptoe Through the Tulips," and "Singin' in the Rain." Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse films that year effectively killed off any further business for the outdated silent movies. Ernest Hemingway published "A Farewell to Arms." Actress Audrey Hepburn was born in England. Frenchman Erich Maria Remarque wrote "All Quiet on the Western Front." And Albert B. Fall, Secretary of the Interior under Calvin Coolidge, was convicted of accepting a $100,000 bribe from Edward L. Dohemy in the famous Teapot Dome scandal. He was sentenced to one year in prison and fined $100,000. Maybe that's where the term "fall guy" is derived?

99 Carpenter Family
Her early growing up years were in Little Rock, then back to Texas in Ballinger and in Houston. She graduated from San Jacinto High School in Houston as Valedictorian of her class.
She entered Rice Institute in Houston, following her sister. Having two children in the family to gain entrance at Rice was an accomplishment and an honor for the Sharpe family, as the entrance requirements were and have always been very high. Her musical talent included being an organist for the church where her Dad was Pastor.
One Sunday night when she was a Rice Freshman, a Coast Guard sailor visited the service with his roommate. That Coast Guardsman spotted Elizabeth playing the organ and the other sailor spotted a young lady in the choir. They both boasted to each other that they would marry these girls! What is fun is that they both did marry them later. The story is that Andy asked to walk Elizabeth home that night after the service. She laughed at the question, but willingly went with him. Unbeknownst to him, the parsonage was just right next door to the church, just a few feet away from where he asked her!
Andy was a Mississippi boy, so after their marriage, each finished their college education at the University of Mississippi in Oxford. Elizabeth worked much of the time in various administrative and secretarial positions. Like her mother, Elizabeth did well serving the role of a Presbyterian Pastor's wife. Her educated experience allowed her to be a counselor and advisor to her husband in the things of ministry and of life.
She contracted cancer circa 1970, while they lived in Lubbock Texas. Later that year, the family moved to Saint Louis, Missouri, She died just after Christmas in 1973. The hospital where she died was in the city of Saint Louis, but the family lived out in the County of Saint Louis. That's one of those strange situations where the city is independent and is not in a county.
Her funeral was to be December 30, but ten inches of snow fell the evening before. Finally, a few days after New Year's Day, the family put her to rest. The church was filled to overflowing. The grave side service for the family and close friends was very cold, with much of that snow still on the ground and the wind blown temperature in the teen's.
Elizabeth was a credit to her family. A devoted mother and wife, she lived life to the fullest and with the most detail.

Notes for REV. DR. ANDREW ALBERT JUMPER:
100 Carpenter Family
Andy lost his father to an automobile accident when Andy was only 8 months old. He and his brother, Bill, were raised by his mother and her second husband, Lawrence Owens, affectionately known to the family as "Daddy O." They lived in relative poverty during the 1930's, scratching out their living operating small county stores from place to place, beginning in Darling, Mississippi.
The 1930 US Census for Quitman County, Mississippi shows that the Andy's widowed mother and his brother were in the household of Andy & Bill's Nason grand parents, Albert Lancaster Nason and Ila Bell Ramsey.
It is of interest to see that Andy's name in this 1930 US Census was Albert A. Jumper, which was what his mother says she named him. She addressed him as Albert, but he did not like that name, much preferring his middle name, Andrew and liked being called Andy. He grew up having people call him Andy. It was to his great delight when he entered the Coast Guard when it was the first time for him ever to have his birth certificate requested, that his name had been recorded contrary to his Mother's wishes. He was officially Andrew Albert Jumper! Of course, in the military, they would permit use only of the first name, which was great for him. However, his Mother called him Albert till the day she died!
After Andy's mom remarried, the family located in Parkin, Arkansas, where he finished high school, managing to be selected an all-state football player. Andy went to Mississippi State University on a football scholarship in 1943.
Bill, Andy's older brother, is a good story teller, and here is more of his telling to me in 2003:
"On a dreary, wet Sunday afternoon on December 7, 1941, Andy and I and about a dozen other town kids were down at the school football field playing a game of touch football (I was 15 and Andy was 13 ) back then no TV and darn little radio. My step father walked down and called all us kids over and told us about the report of the attack on Pearl Harbor just in over the radio. Well, being country kids and knowing little of world affairs, we thought it was bad. But really, we had little idea that our world was in for a big change that, at that moment, we could not foresee it's impact.
"In 1942 I (Bill) was in the 12th grade and doing badly, as I was a poor student and really never applied myself. Most of my pals were a little older than me and were starting to be called up for military service. So, not wanting to miss out on the war, I joined the U. S. Navy in May 1943. That same summer my folks had a job opportunity in the Parkin, Arkansas area. It was a large country store owned by a large landholding company out of Chicago, Illinois. They moved there and were furnished a house in conjunction with the store. Andy went to Parkin High School. As well as being a good student, he was a great football player. In his senior year they won the state championship. He and a kid named John Hannah made all state awards. John Hannah went on to play for Arkansas University, made All American, was drafted by the Greenbay Packers and made all pro several times. Andy was courted by a number of colleges and made recruiting trips to Kentucky, Arkansas, Ole Miss and Mississippi State. As it turned out Mississippi State offered the best opportunity.
101 Carpenter Family
"Schools could get away with a lot of things back then, and, as long as it was not too overt, no one complained. For Andy he was to get $500 per year clothing allowance to be used at Bonds Clothing Store in Memphis and five round trip bus tickets home. He had an on campus job that paid a stipend as well. In 1945, realizing he was about to be drafted, he joined the Coast Guard. At one point he was stationed in New York City and I happened to be in at the Philadelphia yard. I caught the train and spent the weekend with him in New York City. Andy later went to Houston and that's where he met Elizabeth.
"I remember during the time in 1947 that he was in Houston and the fertilizer ship blew in the harbor of the port of Texas City, killing over 100 and nearly blowing the entire port and town off the map, There was a long investigation by the U.S. Coast Guard and evidentiary hearing lasting for months. Andy had, on his own, learned to use the shorthand machine that you still see used in courtrooms. He took the entire testimony for that long hearing, then had to transcribe it. It was a monumental task.
"Of course Andy and Elisabeth got married, and she transferred from Rice Institute to Ole Miss. Andy had some health problems and had chosen not to return to Mississippi State, nor to play any more football. By the time he finished at Ole Miss, I was living in Memphis and attended his graduation ceremony. As an aside, when Andy went to Miss State, he played some ball as a freshman due to the war having taken so many players. There was a player who was a freshman by the name "Shorty" McWilliams. He also joined the Navy and played at the Naval Academy and then came back to Mississippi State and made All American. He was a running back."
I'm grateful to Bill for his vignettes to fill in our our family story. After a year in college, he entered the Coast Guard during World War II, serving in New York, New York and in Houston, Texas. It was in Houston that he met Elizabeth and their love flourished. It was in New York that he worked in the same bull pen office of typists with Alex Haley (8/11/1921 - 2/10/1992), noted author of "Roots" and benefactor of black studies in America. On January 23, 1977, the TV mini-series ''Roots,'' based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC.
It also was from New York that he proposed marriage to Elizabeth by long distance phone call, having equipped her Mother to have the engagement ring handy, assuming the positive reply, which, of course, did come.
After marriage and return to pursing college education, they both graduated from the University of Mississippi at Oxford, Mississippi. He'd originally had his sights set on the law profession. He even hinted that his ambition was to be Governor of Mississippi someday. However, while at Ole Miss, he sensed a calling of God on his life. He did some lay preaching in small country churches near Oxford. They moved after graduation to Austin, Texas, where he graduated from the Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary in 1954.
He was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in the United States (called the Southern Presbyterian Church). In later life, after some church controversies, he joined the newly- formed Evangelical Presbyterian Church. He served that church with leadership, including being its General Assembly's Moderator for a one-year term. He was honored as one of the founders of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church.
102 Carpenter Family
The churches he served were Christ Presbyterian Church, Houston, Texas; West Shore Presbyterian Church, Dallas, Texas; First Presbyterian Church, Lubbock, Texas; and Central Presbyterian Church, Clayton, St. Louis County, Missouri, from where he retired. His pastoral career included giving leadership to a number of events and movements in the denominations over the years, including being on the Joint Committee for Union, that resulted in the Souther Church reuniting with the Northern Church, officially the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. The reunited church became known as the Presbyterian Church USA.
He wrote at least two books of significance in the Presbyterian Church (PCUS). "Chosen to Serve" was a training book for Deacons and the "Noble Task" was a training book for lders. They became the standard for local Presbyterian Churches in the South to use for officer training from the 1960's through the 1970's. Authors receive royalties for such publications, modest though they are. However, it is of interest that in the late 1970's, the publisher told Andy that his accumulated royalties on those two books represented the most that Presbyterian publisher had ever paid to any one author.
Andy exhibited strength in his leadership and preaching, and enjoyed a well earned reputation as a pastor. He began in deprived settings and gravitated to significance and accomplishment in his life's calling.
There is another child born of Andy and Elizabeth, but the family of that child has requested that name and demographic data about that family not be included in family genealogical papers and reports, especially information that may become posted on the Internet. It is the desire of that family to minimize such information that is availbable to the general public.

Notes for DWIGHT ALBERT SHARPE:
As a fifth generation Texan, I was born in 1939 and raised in Texas in the family of a Presbyterian minister.
English King George VI and his daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, visited Washington, D.C. the month I was born to become the first British sovereigns to visit the United States. This was the year Nylon stockings first went on sale and Bryon Nelson won the U.S. Open golf tournament June 12.

For my growing up years in Texas, I lived in Ballinger, Houston, Sweetwater,Dallas San Antonio and Austin. My first name comes from my father and my great Uncle Dwight Sharpe of Chicago, whom I never saw. My middle name, Albert, is immediately from my Uncle Herschell Albert Chapman, but it also goes back to my great grand father, William Albert Abney, Sr. The only time I ever saw Uncle Herschell was when mother visited him and his wife, Gertrude, in Oakland, California in 1940, about my first birthday. They all visited the World's Fair of San Francisco that was exhibiting at the time.
The Sharpe's moved to Houston, Harris County, Texas in 1941, living first in Central Park at 6916 Sherman, not far from the Houston ship yards. D. A. (as I was called to differentiate
104 Carpenter Family from my father, who was called Dwight) entered Hood Elementary School for the first through the fourth grades. The fifth grade was at Park Place Elementary School and we lived at 8010 Grafton, just west of Broadway. The sixth grade was at Brisco Elementary near the newly constructed Trinity Presbyterian Church at 7000 Lawndale where my father was the pastor. We lived on Erath Street.
The sixth grade in Sweetwater, Nolan County,Texas was at Philip Nolan School. Reagan Junior high was next, followed by part of the 9th grade year at Sweetwater High School. We lived at 601 Crane Street.
During the decade the family lived in Houston, there were many occasions for them to visit my mother's relatives in Lufkin, Texas. My particular favorite was great Uncle Jim. James A. Abney owned a hardware store (a merchant pursuit seen for several general generations of Abney's there). Uncle Jim would take me to his store to see the many marvelous things there. The highlight was when Uncle Jim reached up to the gun racks in the store and gave me my first Daisey Red Rider BB gun!
In Sweetwater, I was introduced to hunting by Mr. Johnson, a member at the First Presbyterian Church where my Dad was Pastor. We hunted mainly rabbit, but the outings were such fun. I bought my first firearm, a single-shot breach loading 20 gauge shotgun from another man in our church, a Mr. Jennings. I played junior high football. Though I was slight of height and weight, compared to the older boy who played his same defensive end position, I did play on the winning team of the 1951 Pee Wee Bowl of Colorado City, Texas, a competition among the top four teams of west Texas. My one star play for this short lived football career was to block a punt in that championship game.
My high school years were in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas while Dad was pastor of the John Knox Presbyterian Church. We moved there in March of 1954, occupying the first new home our family was ever to have, at 2207 Major Drive in Pleasant Grove, in the first block north of Bruton Road and just a few blocks west of Buckner Boulevard. I finished the ninth grade at Alex W. Spence Junior High before entering Woodrow Wilson High School. My first date was with Linda Wilson, a young girl I'd met at summer Presbytery Camp. I rode the bus across Dallas to fetch her and we spent the day at the Texas State Fair of 1955. This young lady, unfortunately, died of cancer before completing high school.
My high school friends were Dick White and Steve Green, even though I attended a different high school than did they. Steve and my families were in the John Knox Presbyterian Church, and Dick's family were Episcopalians. We three boys held part time grocery store jobs together, and enjoyed social life together. Dick and I competed in dating Jewell (Judy) Shoup, from another family at that church. Judy's parents were good friends with my parents, even after both moved from Dallas and settled in retirement years down in central Texas.
I graduated 1957 from Woodrow Wilson High School. Constructed in 1928, this school is significant as an excellent example of the Jacobean Revival Architectural Style. Architects for the school were Roscoe P. DeWitt and Mark Lemmon. This high school boasts nearly 24,000 graduates who include seven Dallas area mayors, two Heisman Trophy winners, and numerous other political and commercial leaders in the City of Dallas. Architech Mark
105 Carpenter Family
Lemmon has a major street in Dallas named for him, and he was a very active member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church from where I eventually retired after 22 years of adminstrative service 1982-204. Mr. Lemmom also was the architech for the sanctuary for that church. And Mr. Lemon was a graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School as well. In the year of my graduation, Vanna White, the famous game show host (''Wheel of Fortune''), was born.
I attended Austin College (Sherman, Texas) for two years. Graduation was from the University of Texas at Austin in 1962 with a BBA degree, majoring in Personnel Management and Industrial Relations.
I have been employed almost continually since 1951 at age 12, beginning to work at the Sunset Market grocery store, owned by the Leland Glass family, members of the First Presbyterian Church in Sweetwater; and continuing at the Wyatt Food Stores in Dallas, 1954 through high school graduation in 1957. I have filed my own federal income tax return every year since age 12! My first part time college work was at an IBM Corporation plant in Sherman 1957-1958, where I first began working with computers. This plant manufactured the famous IBM punch cards at the rate of about 20 million per week.
My second summer college job was at the Model Market grocery store in northeast San Antonio, where my parents then resided. One of my steady customers at the grocery store was Mrs. Anthony Berry, who took such a liking to me that she invited me to their home to meet their family. I enjoyed some nice times around their swimming pool and ended up dating their high school age daughter for the summer, Linda. Her brother, Tony, made sure I treated his sister properly, and his upper classman status in College over me helped enforce that status!
My job of my last two college summers was at Camp Longhorn, an athletic camp for children near Burnet, Texas, in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas. it was owned, principally by Tex Robertson, famous swimming coach of olympic swimmers from the 1930's at the University of Texas. Some of them were partners in the Camp Longhorn operation, including Bill Johnson and Bob Tarlton.
My high school friend, Dick White, had a roommate in the domotory at the University of Texas named Mike Holland who introduced Dick and me to the employment opportunities at Camp Longhorn. We both were appreciative of Mike and that introduction. The last summer at Camp Longhorn was 1961 when I was the instructor for trampoline lessons for all of the boys in grades 1 through 5.
My first post college occupation was with IBM Corporation. Hired in Austin, the company immediately assigned me to New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, beginning in June 1962. This fortunate occasion led to my meeting of Suzanne there at a social occasion she was hosting.
Training by IBM for me took place in New York City in July 1962, where I graduated from a highly professional 28 member Marketing Class #16208, documented via the class photograph on the wall in my office now at home.
My marriage was to Suzanne Margaret Boggess, a Georgia-born and Mississippi-raised
106 Carpenter Family young lady, whose initial professional experience was as a medical technologist, and who later was a residential real estate agent. We met on Sunday evening, June 17, 1962. I had just arrived in New Orleans earlier that month. The only person in New Orleans I knew living there was James Walls, a former fellow student at Austin College. Jim knew Suzanne and took me to a social occasion being hosted by Suzanne at her apartment with perhaps 30 or 40 people there. We had our first date the following Friday, June 22. We went to the movie, "Elephant Walk." The Hungarian medical student to whom she was engaged, informally, was out of town on a job for the summer. It was a whirlwind courtship for the summer, and we married September 30.
Our three children are Taylor Marcus (1965); Tiffany Lenn (1966) and Todd Wittman (1969).
I worked for IBM corporation in New Orleans for 1962-69, serving in sales, training, and later in administrative positions. I was elected a Deacon in 1962, then an Elder in 1963, soon becoming the Clerk of Session at the Canal Street Presbyterian Church. 1969, brought full- time Christian work as Administrator of the Trinity Christian Community, an inner city ministry originated by Canal Street Church, which later became a New Orleans Presbytery outreach, then finally an interdenominational work that still exists in 2004.
God's hand was moving in the lives of Suzanne and me particularly in those days, and we sought to find His meaning and directions for our lives. It was then that our participation and interest in the inner city ministry of Canal Street Presbyterian Church drew us to the conviction that we should buy a home and move into that neighborhood. It was a five year experience which included my leaving my work at IBM after a couple of years there and thus began my career in Christian ministry. We purchased the home with another couple, Dr. Joseph A. and Charlotte Snead. Sharing home ownership is a very interesting experience.
My relationship with IBM continued for a while, as their office wanted to reach out to an inner city neighborhood such as where we were working. It was a blessing that my former employer wanted to involve themselves in the new work to which I had felt called.
We assumed this was a temporary work in Christian ministry, and that we would return to regular secular work in a few short years. That was wrong! That temporary tenure in Christian work lasted through 37 years and in three different Christian ministries before my 2004 retirement.
This was a crime-ridden area with five bars within a block our our house, and there were five instances of gun fire or gun fights in our immediate block in the five years of our residence. After a while, we became known as residents there who sought to for the benefit of the neighborhood, and acceptance by the neighbors enable our Christian witness to grow. We learned much through the experiences God led us and allowed us to have. Our church, Canal Street Presbyterian, called onto its staff the Rev. Mr. William (Bill) J. Brown, part of whose duties were to work in the neighborhood there we were. Finally, through Bill's vision, the ministry became Trinity Christian Community.
We did learn that the thing in life that mattered most was to be in God's will. If we would be in His will, we would have nothing to fear and that appropriate provision and protection
107 Carpenter Family would always be made for us. And, we do affirm that. We also had the Biblical principal of tithing confirmed in our experience. We had begun to give 10% of our income to God in his causes and even more before coming down to that neighborhood. But living there in poverty and changing work to the Christian ministry meant living on an economic shoestring. Even so, we always pulled out our 10% of everything to give to God's Kingdom, no matter how little we had. It never failed! We always were enabled to live on the remainder. It just works out that way in God's kingdom.
By age 30, I had served in the Presbyterian Church as a Deacon, Elder, Clerk of Session, was moderator of a major standing committee of New Orleans Presbytery, and was a member of its Presbytery's Council. Shortly, I was elected an alternate to the 1972 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, U.S. I coordinated the publicity office for communications for the successful General Assembly Moderatorial elections of Dr. L. Nelson Bell in 1972 and of Mr. Jule Spach in 1976 for the Presbyterian Church, US (the Southern Presbyterian Church). They both had served missionary careers for the PCUS.
In 1972, new work was begun for a decade as Managing Editor of THE OPEN LETTER, the publication of the Covenant Fellowship of Presbyterians (CFP), living in St. Louis, Missouri. There, I served as a Deacon, Elder and Clerk of Session at the 2,500 member Central Presbyterian Church in the suburb of Clayton, moderating several committees and actively represented the Session at Presbytery.
My work with CFP took, me to ten annual General Assemblies in our Presbyterian denomination as a press representative. I have been a part of many behind-the-scenes workings that go into developing the mission of our church as expressed through the General Assembly. I attended most of the meetings of the Mission Board of the PCUS from 1973 through 1979 as a press representative. In so doing, I became acquainted with many of the leadership people of the denomination in those years.
I witnessed the development of plans for proposed denominational union with the United Presbyterian Church in the United States (UPCUSA), and have a working knowledge of the events shaping the plan that was adopted in 1983. I served as Director of the Christian Life Conference at Montreat for seven years during the 1970's.
During 1981-82, I was marketing administrator for the advertising division of a St. Louis business communications manufacturer, Missouri Encom, as well as serving as a word processing consultant. Upon leaving the staff of CFP, I was elected to its Board of Directors. Before that organization disbanded a couple of years later following denominational union in 1983, I had the distinction of being the only person to serve all four officer positions (President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer) and was the only layman ever to serve as President, all other Presidents having been Presbyterian ministers. I was the President that oversaw the orderly dissolution of the corporation and the distribution of its assets.
While in St. Louis, my interest in public affairs led me to participate in the following ways: Chairman of the Traffic Commission of University City, Republican Election Judge Supervisor for the St. Louis County Board of Election Commissions, Chairman of the Hadley Township Republican Presidential Convention (1980), Delegate to the Missouri State Republican Convention and the First Congressional District Republican Convention (both in
108 Carpenter Family
1980). I served on a University City Bond Election Proposal Committee (1979) that produced 13 proposals. The only proposal to win voter approval was a fire department equipment financing method that I developed. Part of my interest here was my activity as a member of the University City Volunteer Fire Department.
There was nine years of service in several of the usual parent/teacher organization officer roles at Flynn Park Elementary School, the public grammar school where our three children were in a student body that was 50% Jewish. Some of the family's closest friends developed were Jewish families, particularly Ben Herman (who sold us lots of fresh eggs) and our immediate next door neighbor, Marvin Polinski, who wrote perhaps the most heart-warming letter of neighbor appreciation upon the occasion of departure to Dallas in 1982.
My re-entry to the business community was short lived. The project was a brand new division for a company. The economic timing was not good, and unemployment in the immediate Metropolitan St. Louis area rose up to 15%. I had quite a number of mid-career friends who had already lost their jobs and finding replacement jobs was bleak. This was when I received the news that the new division would need to be shut down in order for the primary envelope manufacturing aspect of their business to be able to survive.
Suzanne and I resolved that St. Louis seemed to be "our home" for now and that we should seek God's guidance in finding work there. We would not plan to look for work elsewhere. However, I did have some free time on my hands and could attend the Labor Day Weekend Conference CFP sponsored at Montreat, North Carolina. My first morning there had me run across the path of the then President of CFP, our former pastor in New Orleans, Robert (Bob) T. Henderson. After hearing of my situation, he suggested that he take me into a CFP Executive Committee meeting about to convene. He would have me share my needs to find a job in St. Louis and have them pray for me. It was a group of about a dozen, mostly Presbyterian ministers meeting.
After my sharing and their praying for me, I arose to depart so they could begin their business. A waved hand caught my eye. The Rev. Dr. B. Clayton Bell, son of the former Moderator of the General Assembly for whom I'd worked, signaled to me and whispered to see him at the coffee break time. It was a strange feeling. It was like an arrow pierced me. I knew that I was going to work at something with Clayton. Even though I was looking for new work only in St. Louis, a month later, I was on the job with Clayton at Highland Park Presbyterian Church in Dallas, Texas where he was the Senior Pastor. Interestingly, Clayton's sister Ruth Nelson, married a young preacher years ago named Wiliam F. Graham. Most folks know him today as the world wide known Evangelist Billy Graham. So, it was our privilege to meet Rev. Graham upon occasion, him being my boss's brother-in-law. God's hand in our lives knows so much more that our plans are, and I rejoice in His provision for our family at that time.
My first assignment was the position of Business Manager for Highland Park Presbyterian Church, Dallas, Texas, on October 1, 1982. In 1996, my assignment became Director of Stewardship and Support Services for Highland Park Church. In 2001, my assignment assumed the position of Executive Administrator for the Senior Pastor, who then was the Rev. Dr. Ronald (Ron) W. Scates.

I have been an active member, both of the local and national organizations, of the National Association of Church Business Administration, including having served as President of the Dallas Chapter in 1990 and in 2001-2002. I was an active member of the Presbyterian Church Administrators Association. I served for four years in the 1990's on the planning team of the Renewal Conference at Mo Ranch, sponsored by the Synod of the Sun and was its 1994 director. I served as Moderator of the Resource Network Committee of Grace Presbytery, and was a member of the Grace Presbytery Council and did a few other Presbytery tasks.
My hobby is genealogical research. My memberships include the Sons of the American Revolution, served as Editor of the Dallas chapter's monthly journal, served one year as its secretary (1989-90 term), and am a life member of the Dallas Genealogical Society, since 1988. I have published articles in several genealogical publications. I also am a member of the Chapman Family Association, the Boggess Family Association, the Wise County (Texas) Historical Society, the Noxubee County (Mississippi) Historical Society and the Sharp Family Association.
Perhaps my most appreciated membership was to join that proud elite of Texans known as the Sons of the Republic of Texas on October 27, 2005. To qualify in it, you must document that your ancestor was a citizen of the Republic of Texas, which existed from April, 1836 through February 19, 1846. My great, great grandfather, through a series of maternal connections, is my lineal ancestor who qualifed me for this distinction. He was Judge Felix Benedict Dixon, an Ohio-born man who took an immigration oath to become a citizen of Texas in May of 1841, purchased 1,000 acres of land there in 1842, ran for and was elected to the office of County Surveyor for San Augustine County, Texas in 1844 and had a marriage certificate issued in January of 1846. Four documentations were developed, when only one was necessary!
Another outside interest has found me on the stage. All the world is a stage, as I believe Shakespeare proclaimed. Highland Park Presbyterian Church Music Department produced various Broadway musical type of productions over 1980's and the 1990's. It was my privilege and honor to have minor speaking roles in the following productions: "The Unsinkable Molly Brown," "The Sound of Music (twice)," "Fiddler on the Roof," "My Fair Lady" and "Hello Dolly." Usually at least one of my children joined me with roles of singing and dancing. In fact, all five members of our family were on the stage with "Fiddler on the Roof." It may have been broken by now, but for a few years after that 1989 production, we were the only family unit at the church that had all members at once in an HPPC Musicals cast.
For many years, I was a Precinct Chairman in our neighborhood near the church for the Dallas County Republican Party, and had service on the Executive Committee of the County Republican organization. Suzanne served, on the successful campaign committees in 1993 and 1994 for Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison and we both attended her Senate swearing in ceremonies at the Capitol in Washington, D. C. on June 14, 1993.
At Senator Hutchison's first election victory party, many happy voters awaited the Hutchison's arrival. The large reception hall had no chairs, so many of the people crossed their legs and sat down on the floor in circles of celebration and fun. One man did sit next to me and proclaimed how happy and encouraged he was to taste this sweet victory, having in
110 Carpenter Family mind the bitter losses of the previous election in 1992. The man was really having fun, slapping me on the back. Little did either of know that he would be the next Governor of Texas, then President of the United States seven years later! George W. Bush was then General Manager of the Texas Rangers Baseball Organization, sitting with Suzanne and me on the floor!
Suzanne and I have hosted two home receptions in the Park Cities for Congressman Sam Johnson, including one Sam requested to be an old fashioned summer time ice cream party. Sam had served his country as a decorated Air Force Pilot shot down over Viet Nam and who was incarcerated in a POW Camp for over seven years. He testifies to his Christian faith that sustained him during that ordeal. After he was freed, he served in the Texas Legislature. During that time, he had small air plane trouble one day and was forced to make a spectacular landing on the North Dallas Tollway! Under God's grace, there were no injuries and no vehicles collided! What a miracle! Praise God. Sam certainly does.
The University Park City Council appointed me as its Election Judge in charge of municipal elections and as a Police Block Captain. I was a delegate from Dallas County to the 1992, 1994, 1996 and 1998 state conventions of the Republican Party of Texas, including Suzanne who was a delegate as well each time. I have served for Dallas County Courts as a Commissioner in arbitrating property condemnation disputes. We skipped 1990's State Convention to be on a European Choral Tour with the Chancel Choir of our Church.
In 1999, the Sharpe's relocated to Aurora, Wise County, Texas as a retirement site in the near future years. This is some 25 miles northwest of Fort Worth. Still commuting 50 miles to work in Dallas, then we involved ourselves in the Wise County community.
In June 2000, I was appointed Leader for the Delegates of Wise County to the Texas State Republican Convention at Houston, Texas. In September 2000, I was elected by the Executive Committee as Chairman of the Republican Party in Wise County to fill a vacancy. The successful election year of 2000 and the closely counted election of Gov. George W. Bush as President concluded with our being invited to and we did attend the Presidential Inaugural Ball in Washington, D.C. as well as the Inauguration Ceremony the following day (boy, was it cold outside).
I was re-elected in the Republican Primary election of March, 2002 and in 2004, with no opposition on the ballot. In 2002, I was appointed by the State Republican Committee to serve as Temporary Chairman of the Senate District #30 Caucus at the Texas Republican State Convention at Fort Worth. This state convention is the largest delegated political convention in the world, having some 17,000 delegates and alternate delegates eligible to be elected to represent their home constituencies. After the Convention, I was asked to fill a newly created position to serve as Communications Director for the Senatorial District #30 (State Senator Craig Estes).
To cap off the good election of 2002, Suzanne and I were invited to and attended the Inaugural Ball for Gov. Rick Perry, as well as his Inauguration the following day, which we did, along with several friends and other elected officials from Wise County. The Govenor included Suzanne and me in the 2002 and in the 2005 Christmas Party at the Govenor's mansion. Our local newspaper, the "Wise County Messenger," published a photograph of the
111 Carpenter Family
Govenor and his wife with us around the fire place in the mansion. The honor again was given to be the Chairman of the Senate #30 Caucus at the State Convention in 2004 at San Antonio. In 2005, again Suzanne and I participated in the various activities of the Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C.
A friend I met at the 2004 Texas State Republican Convention, Mr. Roger Williams, was appointed Texas Secretary of State. He began February 8, 2005. My son Todd and I were privileged to have a private dinner with him on February 16 in Austin where we learned a lot and built some good bridges.
The reader should understand that I feel awkward detailing all of these events and happenings in my life. It would seem that bragging is a nomenclature for it all, but I hope and trust it would not be taken that way. As you probably can detect, family heritage is important in my mind to pass on to other generations, and this detail is a way that I can capture some of the fun and excitement of those things with which God has blessed our lives so that our grand children, our great grand children and others can see. At this writing, Suzanne and I have 24 great nieces and nephews and four grand children. and one great, great nephew, Benjamin Reeves.
It has been my commitment to strive to be a Christian man doing significant things in my worship and church life, as well as in the community around, even in the secular community. I advocate commitment of time, talents and money in our relationship with Jesus Christ. This means to invest in the corporate life of the church, to invest in private devotion and spiritual development time, and this means to invest a tithe and more of our income into God's Kingdom and in His call on our lives.
As I embark upon the time of retirement, I look upon it as a mere change of careers. A really nice entry, including a tuxedo-clad photographic portrait, was listed in the September/October 2004 issue of "The Alcalde," the alumni publication of the University of Texas, page 97:
"Dwight Albert Sharpe, BBA '62, Life Member, Aurora, plans to retire November 1 from his position as executive administrator for the senior pastor of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church of Dallas. Sharpe has served several positions at the church for 22 years. As a fifth- generation Texan (great-grandfather Felix Benedict Dixon was a citizen of the Republic of Texas in San Augustine County in 1841) and a proud parent of children who are third- generation graduates of The University of Texas. Sharpe says he is blessed to be a Texas Ex Life Member. He also has been elected Wise County Republican Party chairman. He looks forward to retirement so he can write and participate more in politics."
My membership in the Life Member rooster for the Ex-Students' Association of The University of Texas is # 742 out of over 44,000 at the time of my retirement. I joined in 1963 when it began.
The staff of Highland Park Presbyterian Church hosted a retirement party for me, and it's highlight was to present me with the certificate signed by Rick Perry, the Governor of Texas, indicating my Commission as an Admiral in the Texas Navy. Carolyn Orlegeke, the administrative assistant to the Senior Pastor, was an admiral in her how right and had run the
112 Carpenter Family process early on to incourage my State Senator, Presbyterian Craig Estes of Wichita Falls, Texas, to nominate me to the Governor.
Later, on January 21, 2006, Suzanne and I were present at the charter meeting of the Admiral Chester W. Nimitz Squadron of the Texas Navy as it met in Dallas, Dallas County, Texas to organize. It is a deep honor in Texas to have the moniker of being an Admiral in the Texas Navy.
I expect to occupy myself with economically gainful pursuits as well as volunteer activities. I'll probably show up more on political scenes now. I even took a professional actor's course recently about doing TV commercials! Ah, the call of the stage! It's ever so fun and ever so sweet. Such a clown I am! Maybe I'll sell you some tooth paste on TV! I went back to college for a course of American History, beginning at Weatherford College's satellite campus in Decatur, Wise County, Texas.
It is a blessing to be a part of five generations of Presbyterians, and part of over 1,400 years of Christian heritage in our ancestry. However, it cannot be said that it is "unbroken" heritage, as the evidence is revealed. My goal, as a Christian man, is to serve the cause of Jesus Christ and to serve my family, my fellow men, women and children who are my God given neighbors. The life's mission I seek to claim is that of making disciples of Jesus Christ.

Notes for SUZANNE MARGARET BOGGESS:
The year Suzanne was born, Pearl S. Buck won the Nobel Prize for literature. Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer Prize winning drama "Our Town" was published. The film, "Pygmalion" was produced, destined to be reproduced in later years as "My Fair Lady." Popular songs that year were "Flat Foot Floogie with a Floy Floy," "September Song," "A Tisket, A Tasket," and "Falling in Love with Love." The SS Queen Elizabeth was launched to sail the seas.
(Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard Grun, Simon & Schuster, New York 1991, pages 514-515)
Suzanne was the eldest child, and seemed usually to be competitive in the challenges of life. She was born at 12:20 AM on April 2, 1938. As a young girl, she accomplished many honors and awards, such as raising and showing dairy cows; riding Tennessee Walking horses for her Grandfather Boggess in County Fairs; making numerous musical accomplishments; and being drum major leading the Macon High School Band. Though born in Georgia, most of her growing up years were in and around Macon, Noxubee County, Mississippi. The farm land that belonged to her father and grandfather actually goes back to 1842 in the ownership of their family.
Music was dear to her heart, and the engendering of such training was under the tutelage of Mrs. Whitten, the source of Macon's cultural and musical heritage for decades. Her name was Mary Lillian Peters Ogden Whitten (two marriages). We were friends of her daughter, Charlotte Ogden, until Charlotte's death around 2000. We continued a friendship with Charlotte's first cousin in Macon, Mississippi, John Peters, an active member of the First Baptist Church. John's dad was the brother to Mrs. Whitten.
Being a Christian was also near and dear to Suzanne, having responding to an invitation to accept Jesus Christ at the First Baptist Church in Macon at her tender age of nine.
Suzanne was talented in music, excelling in voice, but also learning to play several musical instruments. She was the high school drum major for the band. Her solo quality voice was used many years in church choirs and special occasions, such as weddings and community events. She also participated in competitive recitals during her youth and considered pursuing music as a career.
She went to Mississippi Southern University, Harrisburg, Mississippi, initially as a music major, but concluding with a 1961 graduation as a major in biology, prepared to be a medical
115 Carpenter Family technologist.
Her senior year was an internship in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana at the Ochsner Clinic. Upon graduation, she took a medical technologist position a Mercy Hospital in New Orleans. A young Texan came to New Orleans, also in his first post college work, and met Suzanne on Sunday evening, June 17, 1962. She agreed to marry Dwight Albert Sharpe that summer (that's me). The time from introduction to marriage was 105 days.
Her next work as a medical technologist was at the Cancer Research Center at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. She became a domestic engineer upon the arrival of their first child, Taylor. She and I were active at Canal Street Presbyterian Church, particularly working with the high school youth. Both sang in the church choir, but my contribution was mainly just to be with Suzanne. She was the musical talent.
Nine months after Tiffany was born, the family moved into the Irish Channel section of New Orleans. It was to be a part of the Christian work their church was doing in that crime infested and transitional neighborhood. They purchased a home jointly with Dr. Joseph A. Snead and his wife, Charlotte. They occupied it in May of 1967. It was built in 1866, was built of Cyprus wood and had 16 rooms, one of which was a kitchen and two were bathrooms. I built a kitchen out of one of the rooms and they were able to divide the house equally to become a duplex. I surely did learn a lot about plumbing at that time.
While Joe was taken off to the Viet Nam war and Charlotte resided back at her home in Virginia, the Sharpes took in the family of the minister working in that inner city ministry, the Rev. Mr. William J. Brown. His wife was Mary Lou and their children were Kevin, Sondra, Karie and Jonathan. The work of the Browns, the Sharpes and others brought a vast variety of people through the home and around the dinner table. Suzanne cooked for 12 to 18 people most evenings for a good while. These people were African American children and teenagers, and quite a number of white men and women, former drug addicts, many who were ex- convicts. God taught the family many things during these experiences.
There was about a year when Suzanne joined Rev. Brown and others to teach a very early Sunday morning Sunday school at a detention center for female juvenile delinquents. That gave me the occasion to prepare Taylor and Tiffany for Sunday and get them to the church via the street car and bus combination. Even though it rained a number of those days (as it often does in New Orleans), not once in that year did it rain on them while walking to the street car stop or waiting for the bus transfer. God's providence! And I learned yet another reason fully to appreciate what Suzanne did as a mother. The third and last child, Todd, was born in 1969 on Taylor's 4th birthday! What a close family!
Our home at 1619 Prytania Street had five bars within a block of it that never closed (no closing hours were required in New Orleans for such establishments). Juke boxes sounded with regular volume, a thing to which they just got used to hearing. There were six gun fights or occasions of hand gun discharge over the five years they lived there. The family never again lived in such an exciting neighborhood. The neighborhood was along side the Mississippi River, about 16 blocks up river from the central business district of New Orleans and the French Quarter. Lots of ship dock workers, etc. populated the area, as well as quite a number of winos residing in almost abandoned flop houses.

We moved to Saint Louis in March of 1972, purchasing a home at 7044 Northmoor Drive in the suburb of University City. It was a half a block from the Washington University campus, which had been the site of the famous World's Fair of 1904. That was the Fair featured in the musical film of "Meet Me in Saint Louis." It also was the Fair where it is claimed that the first offerings to an international market of the ice cream cone and the hamburger (which claimed to come from Athens, Texas). Suzanne's life was busy with the children, with activities of teaching, singing and participating in the Central Presbyterian Church of Clayton, Missouri, and in being a volunteering mom at the children's public elementary school, Flynn Park.
Though the grammar school experience with the children was very positive, school after that was disappointing as to its quality, which led the family to enroll the children in private schools. Suzanne went back to work to help with the financial weight of private education and became a licensed realtor, dealing with residential properties. Her office was in the neighborhood in which the "Meet Me in Saint Louis" movie was filmed. This work was very fulfilling for her, with good results. It was the Ira E. Berry Real Estate firm. She pursued this till the family moved to Dallas in 1982.
In Dallas, Suzanne surrounded herself with the lives of the children and with participation in the life of Highland Park Presbyterian Church very similarly to what she did in Saint Louis. She participated in several civic organizations, all of which she served as an elected officer. She was asked to serve as president or was groomed for a presidency in all of them. However, various reasons prevailed each time wherein she declined the privilege. However her leadership value was recognized in the Park Cities Republican Women, the Prudence Alexander Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Women of Rotary for the Dallas area.
For 14 years, we lived at 3829 McFarlin Boulevard, immediately behind the church, which owned the house. Though the mailing address was Dallas, actually it was located in University Park. In late 1996, we purchased a home jointly with Tiffany in North Dallas at 4539 Willow Lane. As Tiffany's occasion developed to marry Steven Westmoreland in March of 1998, Suzanne and I. moved to a condo behind the Pink Wall at 8618 Baltimore to bide time until we could decide the next move. Steve and Tiffany bought our property interest.
After being in Dallas a while, Suzanne returned to her realtor profession, working with the Henry Miller Realtors. She did this through 1987. The 1990's were some restless years for the family. My work had some ups and downs, which caused reconsideration about where the family ought, in God's providence, to be. Suzanne located a church Northwest from Dallas about 50 miles away, Eagle Mountain International Church, whose worship and ministry practices beckoned her heart. With much thought and prayer, I agreed that she should unite with that church.
With my retirement on the horizon for 2004, we began looking for a residence to settle. It was desired to be out toward her new church, and an out in the country setting seemed good. After about a year and a half of Suzanne's driving for miles through the country side, the ideal place was located. It was 10 acres in Aurora, Texas with a new small two-bedroom house at a price which his tax sheltered savings of 25 years just enabled them to acquire without any
117 Carpenter Family financing necessary. So, in December of 1999, they moved from the condo on Baltimore in Dallas out to Wise County, to Aurora. This is their home at this writing, and has proved to be a choice with much gratification and blessing. Suzanne has found a niche of significance in the ministry at Eagle Mountain International Church and among a growing number of new friends in Wise County.
Where we live in Wise County has really been in four different counties throughout the history of Te8xas. Originally it was a part of Red River County, organized March 17, 1836, the year Texas came into the United States. Clarkesville was its County Seat. Subsequently, Red River was divided into five counties, adding these county names:
Bowie Fannin Lamar Titus.
Fannin was our county, organized December 14, 1837, with Bonham being the County Seat. Still a large area, Fannin was subdivided and added these Nineteen names:
Archer Cooke Hunt Wheeler Baylor Denton King Wichita Childress Grayson Knox Wilbarger Collin Hardeman Stonewall Young Collingsworth Haskell Throckmorton
We then were in Cooke County, as of March 20, 1848, with Gainesville being the County Seat.
Then, at several different dates, Cooke subdivided into:
ClayJackMontague Wise
Wise was organized January 23, 1856, with Decatur being the County Seat. So, Wise County was in four different counties in only the first 20 years of Texas Statehood.

Roman Catholic Pope John Paul II died on Suzanne's 67th birthday, April 2, 2005. He was age 84 and was noted in many ways. He began his 26 year tenure at age 58 as the youngest Pope ever to begin that office. He became the most widely travelled Pope in history and perhaps was the most popular and revered in terms of world wide acknowledgement.
Wise County is a good place for the Sharpe's to end up life, as Suzanne certainly is a wise lady in our partnership together and in our spiritual bond to serve our Lord.

Marriage Notes for DWIGHT SHARPE and SUZANNE BOGGESS:
Suzanne, a soloist in the chancel choir of the Canal Street Presbyterian Church, sang in the choir the Sunday morning that was our wedding day, went home to dress as a bride, and rushed back to church in a Triumph TR3 sports car belonging to Maid of Honor, Waynette Norman, to be married at 1:00 PM there at the church. The wedding service was conducted jointly by my father, the Rev. Dwight Alfred Sharpe (honorably retired from the Presbyterian Church in the United States (PCUS) of San Antonio, Texas, and the host pastor of the Canal Street Presbyterian Church in charge of the ceremony, the Rev. Dr. Robert A. Pitman. By the way, we did keep up with Bob Pitman over the years. He moved to California and ultimately directed a ministry called Knox Fellowship and on who board I sat in 2000 - 2002.
This was a wedding of modest plans. Flowers to decorate the sanctuary were not ordered. However, miraculously, at the time of the wedding, the sanctuary was adorned with a beautiful set of flowers! It was later learned that one of the dearest pillars of that church, Maese Falcon, had taken the initiative to see to it that flowers were there! What a love gift! The wedding plans anticipated that only the approximate 30 family members and friends who had travelled to New Orleans would be there. However, an announcement was in the Sunday worship bulletin that day that members were invited to stay in the sanctuary for the 1:00 PM wedding. There was perhaps 200 people at the "small" wedding. Members of the church, particularly those who admired Suzanne's musical contributions to the church, were a wonderful group of support and encouragement in this time of joy.
There were about 30 people in the party. Both sets of parents were there, as well as Suzanne's newly married brother and wife, Tommy and Lindley, and Suzanne's Aunt and Uncle, Margaret and George Reed from Ottumwa, Iowa. My sisters, Elizabeth and Martha were there, along with Martha's family, Vic and daughters Lynne and Nancy. Of course, D. A.'s Mom, Martha was there, as was Suzanne's Mom, Alice. My college friends, Dick White and Willie Mynar attended, as well as high school friend Steve Green. The weather was perfect and all was delightful. James Wall was the best man, being the one who introduced Suzanne to me. This gift of the dinner from Suzanne's parents, T. S. & Alice Boggess, was truly delightful and was at the beautiful tropical patio of Commander's Palace, the really upscale old world uptown New Orleans place to dine.
Late that Sunday afternoon, Suzanne and I departed the city, driving to the Mississippi Gulf coast for a few days of honeymoon. We stayed at the Holiday Inn in Pass Christian. I had been employed by IBM Corporation such a short time that there was only three days vacation due. So, the honeymoon was three days and I returned to work on Thursday. Unfortunately, that motel was blown away by hurricane Camile in 1969, we discovered when revisiting that area some 20 years later, hoping to stay again at their honeymoon hotel.
This was the year that John Steinbeck was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. Russian novelist and freedom lover, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, published "One day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich." Films that year included "Lawrence of Arabia," "Cleopatra," and "The Manchurian Candidate." (Source: "The Timetables of History" 3rd Revised Edition, Bernard

Children of DWIGHT SHARPE and SUZANNE BOGGESS are: i. TAYLOR MARCUS14 SHARPE, b. Jan 26, 1965, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana, @ 7:30 PM on Tuesday night.
Notes for TAYLOR MARCUS SHARPE:
Taylor was born just two days after England's Sir Winston Churchill died in London at age 90.
Source:http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/historic_figures/churchill_winston.shtml
Taylor Marcus Sharpe is characterized as a thoughtful and winsome child and man throughout his life. He was baptized by his Grandfather Dwight Alfred Sharpe in the spring of 1965 at the Canal Street Presbyterian Church.
This was the year that the musical movie, "My Fair Lady" won the Academy Award for the best picture of 1964. It was also the year that the very first covered professional football stadium opened, the Astrodome in Houston, Texas. The opening was attended by Texan Lyndon Johnson, who was President of the United States at the time. Taylor was born on the day of the 20th anniversary of Soviet troops liberating the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland.
Taylor attended his first Mardi Gras parade when he was three weeks old! One of the traditional parades came by our church, Canal Street Presbyterian Church, each year on a particular Sunday. The congregation brought their picnic lunches to church to enjoy eating together and to enjy the parade after worship service.
Taylor was physically well balanced. His father, his siblings and he often played doing flips on the king size bed they had. He attended Valencia Day School over on Valence Street in uptown New Orleans when he was three. They told us that the problem was he kept jumping off the tables. We suggested to them that they just tell him he had to mind or he'd suffer consequences. They told us they didn't do school that way, so he was expelled
120 Carpenter Family from school when he was three.
He next went to St. George's Episcopal School, where they knew something a little more about instructing students. He went to Garden Nursery last for nursery schooling. It was operated by a couple of little old lady spinster sisters operating out of their large home in the Garden District. It was there that he made friends particularly with John Louis Valadarez, a trilingual child whose American citizen parents were native French and Honduran. All three languages were spoken in their home, and John Louis would sometimes use all three languages in a single sentence, which made it interesting listening when he came over to play with Taylor.
His early New Orleans beginnings found him to be the only Anglo student in his first grade class at the public elementary school down in the crime ridden and rough Irish Chanel. His teacher, Ms. Fran Reed, was unusually gifted and did great things for Taylor's learning. She was the one who recognized his dyslexic tendencies and early resolvement was sought. She was a Christian woman who was a member, with our family, at the Canal Street Presbyterian Church. Taylor did not really learn to read till the third grade. At that time, his reading took off and he read much, including the famous C. S. Lewis series, "The Tales of Narnia" several times.
In junior high, it was decided to get tutoring help for him. One of his best grammar school teachers had a husband who was a professor in French at St. Louis University. He was known to tutor at times, so he was approached. Dr. Marcus Allen said he'd do it only if Taylor paid for the services, rather than his parents! This was worked out by his having Taylor do lawn care and other household chores for their family. Dr. Allen's hobby was photography, so he taught that to Taylor as an extra. This was the genesis of Taylor's life long expertise in photography. This was an excellent opportunity for Taylor to develop a colleagueship with a man of such strength of character, such culture and such creativity. He was a superb example of a positive male image for young Taylor and a great occasion for him to know all of those features to be seen in an African American man.
Taylor liked to help me close up the election polls after elections, and got to be friends with the election clerks who worked with me. Growing out of that interest, it was arranged for him to be en election clerk for the first election after he became eligible to vote as an 18 year old. This was at the voting poll at the Our Lady of the Lourdes Elementary School on our home street, Northmoor Drive, in University City, Saint Louis County, Missouri.
Taylor developed interest in computers, and I taught him to work on them in my office evenings when work had been necessary. He was particularly good at typing and began attracting jobs to type college level papers. By the time he graduated from high school, he had typed five masters theses and one doctoral dissertation. Quite an accomplishment for such a young man, and an excellent opportunity to expose him to see just how such works of writing are
121 Carpenter Family composed.
The family moved to Dallas in October of his senior year of high school. He pleaded with us to allow him to finish at Chamanade, the Roman Catholic school of excellent reputation he had attended since the eighth grade. It was the oldest continuously operating secondary school in the state of Missouri. It was a hard decision for the family to make, but it was decided to let him stay. He lodged with about a half dozen families among our friends. Though he lived with adults, he did not have the kind of hovering over his studies he would have had with us. He came and went pretty much as he decided. Because of the dyslexic condition, he had always had to work hard for his grades, which were somewhat average. The serendipity of this decision to let him finish high school in St. Louis was that he earned the highest grades of his high school career when he was left to manage his own life.
Taylor graduated from the University of Texas as a chemical engineer. His first position was in Houston, Texas with Fina Petroleum, a Dutch company. After a couple of years, he joined the staff of the U.S. Federal Government in the Environmental Protection Agency as an enforcement officer in water pollution responsibilities. His work there has been very successful, and he has won several awards or recognitions of accomplishments on a national scope with the EPA.
His community activities have shown much of his giving character. He served as several officers, including President, of the North Texas Group of Apple Computer Users. He is on the Board of the Texas Rail Advocates. He teaches seminars and courses for industry, including continuing education courses for the certification of attorneys in environmental law for the Texas Bar Association. He is an active member of Highland Park Presbyterian Church, having served on several committees and assisting greatly in technical and computer needs of the church, particularly in its contemporary worship services called Pursuit. He's been instrumental in getting the live services of the church streamed onto the Internet for real time viewing.
He conducts a side business at the Windsor House Apartments where he resides. He is an Internet Service Provider for those residents, wiring them up for use in his T1 internet access. Always, an innovative man!
All in all, he's a fine man.

Notes for TODD WITTMAN SHARPE:
Todd was born 8 pounds, 1 ounce, Sunday morning, 3:35 AM at Touro Infirmary, 3501 Prytania, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana. He was delivered by Dr. Sustendahl (sp?). He was a fine Roman Catholic physician who deliverd all three of our Presbyterian children in that Jewish hospital! All is well for ecumenism.
Todd was always a technical child in the family. He excelled at investigating things and finding solutions. That explains his college major as mechanical engineer. He also developed the most musically of the family's three children.
He began his life in 1969 as Richard Nixon assumed the Presidency of the United States. It was the year that New York Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller donated his collection of primitive art to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. Todd's fourth grand uncle, Johann Phillip Rockefeller, was also the fourth grand uncle of Gov. Rockefeller, who later became Vice President of the United States. Todd was born on the day of the 24th anniversary of Soviet troops liberating the Nazi concentration camps at Auschwitz and Birkenau in Poland. Finally, he was born in the year that ''Sesame Street'' made its debut on PBS (November 10).
While the family lived in University City, Saint Louis County, Missouri, Todd attended Flynn Park Elementary School. He attended Central School for the Young Years at Central Presbyterian Church in Clayton, Missouri, where the family were memers.
Todd was a member of the prestigious chorale group at Highland Park High School in Dallas, Texas, the Lads & Lassies, following in his sister's steps in that group. He learned to play the pipe organ at Highland Park Presbyterian Church (5,400 pipes) under the tutelage of Dr. E. Davis Wortman, II. He took parts in community Broadway musicals, including dancing in the bottle dance in "Fiddler on the Roof." He also had roles in "Sound of Music" and the "Unsinkable Molly Brown."
During high school, he traveled to the Dominican Republic on a mission work trip. He also visited England with a youth chorale group from Highland Park Presbyterian Church. He happened to be on the curbside with his telephoto lens camera when Queen Elizabeth's parade of cars going across the city came
123 Carpenter Family by. He captured a wonderful close photographic shot of the queen for the family album. Todd achieved good grades in high school, and won the $1,000 scholarship voted each year by the faculty for a graduating college-bound senior.
Todd's life and the life of the family and many loved ones were disrupted violently in 1987, just before high school graduation. In the context of a youth party, some outsiders accosted him, thinking in error that he had tossed a raw egg at their passing jeep. The ensuing attack they made on Todd resulted in one of the attackers being cut with a knife, which nearly was a fatal injury. Todd was arrested, bailed out, and endured a week long criminal trial a year later under a charge of attempted murder. Mr. Bill Hill, a prominent local criminal defense attorney and friend of the family, defended Todd successfully, proving the self defense aspect of the occasion. Mr. Hill's expertise later was rewarded by his being elected several time as the District Attorney of Dallas County. It was with great joy and relief that on June 24, 1988, on my 49th birthday, the jury, having been out over 24 hours, delivered the "not guilty" verdict.
Todd's basic self confidence and sense of trying always to do the right thing really showed in those dark days. The family rallied around Todd, and we all respect him for the character by which he bore this heavy burden. The events were covered extensively in newspapers over the year before resolvement, and the TV local news highlighted the trial's not guilty verdict on the broadcast that evening. The story was the front page headline of the Saturday morning newspaper.
Todd spent his freshman year of college awaiting the trial. He went on to accomplish good results as an engineer. He worked on the maintenance staff at Highland Park Presbyterian Church during his late high school and his college summers. He graduated as a mechanical engineer from the University of Texas at Austin. His masters Degree was earned at the University of Texas at Arlington. He did significant work toward a Ph. D. degree at the University of Texas at Arlington, but stopped short of completing. He sensed he wanted to get at the working world and, not intending to go into teaching, would not need that degree.
He did show aptitude at teaching in graduate school by being an instructor for mature engineers coming back to the graduate school for continuing education. One project in the graduate school was his team creating a mechanical robot to be used in the manufacture of weapons systems, such as rocket launchers, missiles, etc. In the course of that work, he earned his name being on a patent for a complicated universal joint used in the robot.
The 1991 Christmas that he graduated from college was spent in South Africa. His roommate Mick, was born there of British and Dutch parentage. By the college years of these boys, Mick's parents had moved to Australia. However, a family reunion had been scheduled in South Africa and Todd was delighted
124 Carpenter Family to be invited. Our family purchased a 300 mm telephoto lens for Todd's Nikron camera as a graduation present, and he captured some marvelous scenery and wild life pictures. He spent about six weeks there, coming and going by spending a few days in Amsterdam. In those days, American airlines were not permitted by our government to fly to South Africa, as an objection to that nation's racial policies. So, Todd had to travel there through Europe.
Todd received his Masters of science and mechanical engineering in the fall of 1994 at the University of Texas at Arlington. His work a while on a doctoral study was only for a couple of years. In 1997, he spent a month touring Europe, renting a motorcycle for much of the way. He went through the Netherlands, Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Austria, the Czech Republic, Italy, France and Switzerland. His wisest actions were to phone home on Easter Sunday and on his Mom's birthday!
Todd went to work for Applied Materials, a firm noted for being the world's largest manufacturer of equipment that is used to manufacture computer chips. Though he had to endure one layoff of massive cuts not long after first going there, he was brought back and did endure other significant layoffs that were a result of the wildly fluctuating technological economy. He developed into an engineer on whom the company demonstrated more and more reliance and appreciation. His work has included his name again appearing on patents belonging to the company. Since then, he survived quite a number of employee layoffs that occurred, due to the roller coaster pathway of that industry.
He settled down on a 13 acre section of land about 25 miles southeast from downtown Austin in Crawford County. The home on the property was erected in the 1960's and was a fine three bedroom starter home. He maintained his agricultural exemption on the land by renting it out for cattle grazing. The post office address was Dale, Texas.
We were very pleased that his circumstances at work greatly improved by 2004 and he received a significant promotion. Of course, as proud parents, we think that Applied Materials is very fortunate to have Todd in their employ.
On May 17, 2005, the family and many friends had great concern growing out of the motorcycle accident he had on his comute to work one day. His travel on a highway speed road was the scene where someone slowly pulled out from a side road on a curve, just in time to get in his path. He had the foresight to leap up, which hurled him over the car and down the highway some 50 or 75 feet. His helmet and riding leather jacket protected him from a lot, but he did sustain broken bones in his arm, hand, pelvis and foot. He had excellent medical care and successfully returned to work in about eight weeks. We were all grateful for the blessings of his protection and recovery.
This was a time when Suzanne and I first had opportunity to spend time around Carrie Maxwell, who became his wife on September 17. So you can
125 Carpenter Family see that something good can come out of many occasions.
It was with great thrill and celebration that we received a phone call Thanksgiving eve 2005 from Todd while Suzanne, Taylor and I were spending Thanksgiving at the Boggess Family Farm in Noxubee County, Mississippi, announcing that they were pretty sure they were pregnet with their first child! Todd talked with his Grandfather, T. S., who brought the news in to Taylor and me.

Marriage Notes for TODD SHARPE and CARRIE MAXWELL:
The wedding was in the home that Todd had owned for several years, out in Caldwell County, Texas. It's a nice 13 acre place where the family gathered.
Carrie's parents, Steve and Elaine Maxwell, were there, as was Suzanne and I. Todd's brother, Taylor, and his sister, Tiffany were there, along with Tiffany's four children, Katie, Jack, Lily and Sarah. Carrie's brother, Jay and his wife, Lisa, were present as well. .
The minister officiating the ceremony was the Rev. Nancy Lea Ehlers Reeves, who, as you should know, is a first cousin of Todd's. She is pastor of the Grace Presbyterian Church of Round Rock, Williamson County, Texas. Her husband, Kevin, also was present.
Carrie's dress was a beautiful white slender dress which highlighted her beauty and radiance as a new bride. Todd's mother, Suzanne, made the wedding cake. The bride's father, Steve, provided the whole family with a wonderful meal of Lockhart Bar-b-cue beef, a famous delicacy of the area, Smity's, served afterward at the home.
Their wedding was on the 218th anniversary of the signing of the Constitution of the United States by those 39 signatories of famous American history.

He married (1) BARBARA JEAN MORRIS 1955. He married (2) WANDA LEE WHARTON 1965. She was born Aug 17, 1944 in Indianapolis, Indiana. He married (3) JESSIE ALLINE FLOYD Abt. 1968.
Notes for HARRY FRANKLIN SHARPE: Harry, in his growing up years, was always the little man of the house, and kept himself plenty busy managing his younger brother, Johnny. Their parents labored long and hard at operating their dry cleaning and laundry business up on the south side of the square in downtown Georgetown, known as Acme Cleaners & Laundry. Shortly after entering Southwestern University in Georgetown, he married Barbara and they initially settled in Dallas, near the family of his Uncle Dwight. Family responsibilities did not permit Harry to return to a college education.
Harry worked at Wyatt Food Stores on South Buckner Boulevard in the Pleasant Grove part of Dallas, which was where his cousin, Dwight Albert, worked. Their first child, Steven, was born while they lived in Dallas. They later returned to Georgetown.
127 Carpenter Family
Harry worked most of his career in the Chevrolet automobile dealership business around Williamson and Travis Counties. He even had a successful, but somewhat brief career at telemarketing, as salesmanship was a forte of Harry's.
At one point, he and Alline formally adopted his grandson, Steven, to raise in their home.
Health conditions caused him to slow down prematurely, and he benefited from disability benefits through Social Security. The growing cost of living in Georgetown, his first love of places to live, caused him to relocate in San Saba, Texas. However, that could not last but about a year, and he returned to Georgetown, like a homing pigeon!
Harry was fortunate in the inheritance of some land from an estate on his mother's side of the family, which enabled him to purchase a nice little home in Georgetown to secure his future there.
He has been a partner with this writer in the pursuit and interest of genealogy for our family, and has been able to provide much information about our grand parents and their ancestors.

Notes for JOHN EARLE SHARPE:
Johnny was born the year that Sir Winston Churchill delivered his famous "Iron Curtain" speech at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri on March 5, 1946.
Source:http://history1900s.about.com/library/weekly/aa082400a.htm
Johnny served in the U.S. Navy and was employed by Sears and Roebuck Company for 20 years before involuntary retirement in its layoffs of 1992. He was not able again to attain regular reliable work, and his terminal illness incapacitated him for quite some time.
Johnny and Harry, as brothers, inherited the family home, built by their parents at 1601 Olive, after their mother passed away in 1988. Harry, having fallen on unfortunate economic times, sold his half to Johnny for what Harry described as far more than fair. However, some sibling strains apparently existed as Harry felt that Johnny did not adequately appreciate the opportune purchase he had made, somewhat at Harry's expense.
Johnny had had his childhood connection to the First Presbyterian Church in Georgetown, but in latter years, it had not been a focus for him. His children and their family did not associate with a church. So, as those parents did not have interest in having their child baptized, Johny sensed a spiritual desire to have his grand child baptized, even though the parents would not be present. He was disappointed when the Presbyterian pastor tried to explain why the presenting for infant baptism was an act of parents, and not grand parents or other friends concerned for the child. Johnny discussed this with me, but I was not successful in helping Johnny to understand the import of what he was asking of the pastor.
This was viewed as rejection, and it alienated Johnny from the Presbyterian Church. However, we can rejoice in that the pastor of the St. Johns United Methodist Church developed a spiritual relationship with Johnny later that brought Johnny into that church. It is the church the old folks in town call the Swedish Methodist Church. It was this pastor who conducted Johnny's funeral service that afternoon on February 3rd at the Gabriel's Funeral Chapel. The chapel name comes from being located between the North and the South forks of the Gabriel River. This is the river in which my father learned to swim, and probably most of the Sharpe folks of Georgetown heritage.
Late July 1995, Johnny, went to dentist with wisdom tooth trouble, and it was discovered he has bone cancer in the jaw. Survival changes given were 50/50. On September 10, 1996, Harry, his brother, phoned me to say that Johnny's jaw had swelled much, and the cancer apparently had spread in his body. He was so close to terminal that his claim for life insurance proceeds to help with medical expenses has been honored. Harry asked me to phone Norma Jean about it, which I did that evening. Johnny held on till January 31, 1997 before he expired. Suzanne and I attended the funeral, along with my sister, Martha Sharpe Ehlers.
The home on Olive thur went to Wanda and her children from her former marriage experience.

Notes for MARTHA LYNNE EHLERS:
138 Carpenter Family
Lynne was a student at the University of Texas, School of Social Work, and garnered both her bachelors and her masters degree there. She always seemed to be fun loving, yet quiet and reserved. It was my pleasant surprise to see her father cite her in his letter to us of July 6, 1969 that Lynne was just finishing a run of "Guys and Dolls." She was in a group that was performing at Zilker Park Hillside Theater there in Austin, Texas. Lynne was on the stage and set design crew at age 18.
Lynne was the first student to receive a masters degree from the Graduate School of Social Work of the University of Texas whose parent had also received such degree. To add to the unusual nature of that feat, they both received their masters degrees together at the same ceremony! Her father, Vic, had been in the first class at the graduate school that began awarding masters degrees in social work.
Professionally, she was a social worker, and pursued her career in quite a number of locations, mostly in Texas and in Georgia. Before her marriage, she worked and lived a while in Dallas in the 1970's. She joined Highland Park Presbyterian Church where I would be employed after she moved on. She lived in the same apartments on Northwest Highway, between Preston Road and Hillcrest, where at various times our children lived, Tiffany and Todd, as well as where Suzanne and I lived before moving out to our current ranch.
While working in San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, she met Foster Scott Brin, a medical student at the time. They married and gave issue to one child, Andrew. Lynne had several bouts with cancer over the years. She died two months short of her 50th birthday.

That musical went on to become the longest running Broadway musical in its day, ending in June of 1962. It so happened that I was in New York City on business and attended the very last showing of that long run.
Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Fair_Lady
Nancy started off life with the family really holding our breaths. When she was two days old, emergency surgeons removed her right kidney that was polycystic, which means there were multiple tumors, causing the kidney to be the size of a grapefruit. She also had liver and heart problems. Her Mom, Martha, prayed that if God would just save her precious baby, she would dedicate her to full time Christian service. Martha did not share that information until the day Nancy was ordained as Minister of Word and Sacrament. Her frail little body fought back for survival and, through much prayer and excellent medical care, she survived to be the outstanding woman leader she is today.
Nancy is a sixth generation Texan! Her Mom was born in Laredo, her grandmother Martha Dixon Chapman Shape was born in Lufkin, her great grandmother Margaret Lavina Abney was born in Lufkin, her great, great grandmother Martha Jane Dixon was born in San Augustine, and lastly to her great, great, great grandfather Judge Felix Benedict Dixon, an Ohio born man who took an oath of immigration into the Republic of Texas in May of 1841.
Most of her growing up years were in Austin, Travis County, Texas where she graduated from elementary school, Junior high, high school and the University of Texas with a degree in Education. Their home for most of those years was at 3003 Skylark Drive in the Northwest part of Austin, near Anderson Lane and Shoal Creek. The family was active members of the Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church on Koenig Lane, a constituent congregation of the United
140 Carpenter Family
Presbyterian Church USA (Northern Presbyterian Church) before the 1983 denominational reunion with the Presbyterian Church in the US (Southern Presbyterian Church). It was there that she married her high school sweetheart, Kevin Reeves.
She and Kevin raised three fine children. Her qualifications in education and her desire to serve in the church led her to be a dollar-a-year type staff member of her home church, in effect, serving like a director of Christian education. That experience evolved into her becoming a full time student at Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary there in Austin. She graduated from seminary and accepted a call as an Associate Pastor at the University Presbyterian Church. This was so providential in God's Kingdom, for it was the church where her parents met, as students at the University of Texas, way back in 1945.
A time came after a few years of service at the University Church, when the Senior Pastor took a call elsewhere and Nancy took that occasion to depart that staff and begin exploring into the possibility for a new church development out in the suburb where she and her family then lived, Round Rock, just over the Travis County line into Williamson County. From her early days in seminary, Nancy felt a passion for evangelism. During her time at University Presbyterian Church, she explored her gifts in this area, finally stepping out in faith to start a new congregation reaching out to the unchurched folks of Round Rock. This is a historic county in our family, as it is the county where my Ohio born grandfather and great uncle first settled in the late 1800's.
Mission Presbytery, the regional church authority of which she was a member as a pastor, did not have funds for her vision, nor were their particular goals for new church development focused in that area. Actually a new church in Southeast Round Rock had been part of a 10 year plan approximately a decade prior to this. When Nancy talked with the Church Development Division of the Presbytery, they were excited about her dream of reaching the unchurched, but did not have any funds. So the Presbytery gave her permission to try and see what happened. Within six months, the presbytery had recognized them as a "fellowship" and in another year they were a "new church development."
It began in their home and around the neighborhood swimming pools. For a long time, their worship time was Sunday evenings only, as the constituency was one that mostly spent weekends at one of the nearby lakes and did not come back into town till Sunday evening. Next they worshipped under a pavilion in a neighborhood park. Next they rented a house close to downtown Round Rock. Finally they purchased several acres on what was to become a strategic corner property on Gattis School Road. The property had a house on it where they worshipped for several years. The church finally was recognized by Mission Presbytery as an organized congregation and it was chartered in services in 1999. It was my privilege to participate as a member of the Presbytery Commission that conducted the chartering worship service. I read the scripture for the service. They erected the first section of their building program in 2003.
Just after the turn of the century, their church won a large prize as the most outstanding new church development in the PCUSA denomination that year, as judged by the General Assembly at its annual legislative meeting. The prize was something on the order of $40,000. The new small and growing congregation was truly jubilent!
141 Carpenter Family
Nancy is passionate in her ministry and has won the hearts of a very loving congregation at Grace Presbyterian Church. You can get a glimpse of her personality through her greeting published on the church's web site:
"Welcome to Grace Presbyterian Church! We are a young congregation that was chartered by Mission Presbytery in October of 1999. With a vision 'to create a joyful community of faith that welcomes all people to share their faith and doubts while celebrating the gospel of Jesus Christ through worship, study and service,' we have encouraged one another to discover and use their unique God-given gifts. The year 2003 has been an exciting on for our church family as we have been constructing our new facility. In November we completed the first stage, a multipurpose building to be used for worship, education, and fellowship activities. But not only have we been building a physical church home, we have been building a church family. Our congregation enthusiastically gathers for mission outreach projects, while also meeting to study the scriptures and discover their message for us today. Each week on Sunday we come together to worship God and celebrate the countless ways in which we have been blessed. Whether you are a lifelong Presbyterian, someone new to the Christian walk, or someone who is exploring their faith and doubts, we encourage you to visit us in our new building. We would love for you to join us as we grow in our life of faith here in Round Rock."
Nancy is more than just the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church. Kevin and all three of their children have had some much to do with various kinds of participation and leadership for the development of that congregation that I think of them as the pastoring family for the church. She has carried on another fine chapter of Christian commitment that so often has appeared in our family lineage and to which I am blessed to give emphasis.
Now that her children are essentially out of the nest (one is married, two are well on in college), she is living her transportation dream by driving a two-seater Audi TT foreign sports car convertible! It's a special sight to see in the church parking lot!

Marriage Notes for NANCY EHLERS and KEVIN REEVES:
They were married the year the TV mini-series ''Roots,'' based on the Alex Haley novel, began airing on ABC. It is of my interest that Mr. Haley was in the United States Coast Guard, stationed in New York City during World War II as a clerk typist. His next desk co- worker was Andrew Albert Jumper, later to become my brother-in-law who married my sister, Elizabeth Anne Sharpe Jumper. Elizabeth was Nancy's aunt, who unfortunately was deceased by the time of this marriage.

Notes for CHRISTOPHER THOMAS REEVES:
Christopher's first notable profile in the public domain was the selection of him for a photograph promoting information about the Texas Drivers License Division to be on posters all over the state! This was in 1984 when Christopher was two years old. This is documented in his father's letter of April 25, 1984 generally sent to all the family for the purposes of updating them on Vic's cancer situation.
Christopher is a seventh generation Texan. In 2005, he graduated from the University of Texas at Austin, Travis County, Texas in Computer Science. He worked part time designing web pages and doing programing for a gaming resource company.
Just prior to his marriage. Chris landed a job in the computer industry that will enable them to live in the Austin area for now.
Chris' courtship of Sarah went back a little more than three years before their wedding. He was giving leadership in a Conference Planning Committee at the Presbyterian Conference Center in the Hill Country of Texas in Kerr County, known as Mo Ranch. It so happened that Sarah was a member of that planning team as well, and apparently they later made more plans than just for the conference!

Marriage Notes for CHRISTOPHER REEVES and SARAH SHANEY:
Their 6:00 PM wedding on July 2, 2005 was at the First Presbyterian Church of McAllen, Texas, 104 South Twelfth Street, Sarah's home town. A reception immediately followed at the Monarch Ballroom in the Country Inn & Suites, 1921 South Tenth Street. However, due to some noted participants in the service being delayed arriving, the service actually began about 6:30 PM.
It was the honor and privilege for Suzanne and me to attend the wedding and reception. Chris' Mom, the Rev. Mrs. Nancy Lea Ehlers Reeves, officiated the wedding ceremony. The centerpiece candle at the front of the church where the wedding party gathered was burning in loving memory of Gaylen, Sarah's father, who had graduated to heaven about three years earlier. The candle was appropriately lighted by Pat, Gaylen's loving wife.
The service was bi-lingual. Every few phrases were repeated by as translator into Spanish. Why? Sarah's family is primarily from Mexico. In fact, her Mom, Pat, has only been a U.S. Citizen less than a decade. A number of their large family attending spoke no English. So, it truly was an international affair.
Music for the church service was provided by the guest musicians from Mexico City. They also provided the music for the reception.
This seven member musician team was astounding in its vigor and joyful enthusiasm they created among the wedding guests. The lead female singer is a cousin of Sarah's Mom. The band started music by 8 PM and went with only two very brief breaks till midnight! The Latin flavor was so invigorating that the wonderful inter-generational spirit of family love and joy was outstanding. Even Suzanne and I were seen prancing around on the dance floor, wearing the wild party hats and other decrations provided by the band for the party goers to wear. It was so much fun!

COMMANDER MARK ANDREW14 JUMPER (ELIZABETH ANNE13 SHARPE, DWIGHT ALFRED12, HARRY SETH11, SARAH LAVENNA10 KELLOGG, LANSING9, BRADFORD8, MARY7 STEELE, EBENEZER6, MELETIAH5 BRADFORD, WILLIAM4, ALICE3 CARPENTER, ALEXANDER2, WILLIAM O.1) was born May 01, 1954 in Austin, Travis County, Texas, Seaton Hospital at it former location in the 2600 block of Rio Grande. He married GINGER LOU JONES Nov 23, 1991 in Clayton, Saint Louis County, Missouri, Central Presbyteian Church.. She was born Dec 23, 1958 in Orlando, Florida.
Notes for COMMANDER MARK ANDREW JUMPER:
Mark was born in the same Austin hospital as was his first cousin, Martha Lynne Ehlers, was just across the street from where I later lived in a rooming house while I was a student at the University of Texas.
Mark was born the same year as Condoleezza Rice, who subsequently served our nation as United States Secretary of State. She is the African American, raised in a family that worshipped as Presbyterians in Birmingham, Alabama. She climed a career later in academia, which led into Government service.
Mark learned to play the violin in his grammar school days, but he never fiddled around with it much after that. He ultimately was the best bow for Ginger, his future wife, and he really did not fiddle around too much.
His secondary education was in Saint Louis County, Missouri. He lost his mother to cancer while he was in college.
145 Carpenter Family
After graduating from Oral Roberts University (Tulsa, Oklahoma) and Columbia Theological Seminary (Decatur, Georgia), he was pastor of a Presbyterian Church in Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi, down on the Gulf Coast. Subsequently, he entered the Chaplaincy in the United States Navy. He was based in a number of places in the Pacific and in the United States.
A hobby of his, developed in his military years, was sky diving. He broke a hip ( or some important bone) in a fall once, but otherwise came through unscathed.
Mark excelled as a father (he had to, with all those children). His skills as a clergyman became recognized as he grew and honed these skills in the ministry. In the steps of his father, he was a good and strong preacher. One of his years in the military, he was acclaimed the top Chaplain for the year! A practice he followed with his seven children was to have a private breakfast out at a nice place for each of their birthdays. He was good at developing ways like that to be a good father.

Notes for GINGER LOU JONES:
Ginger was a Florida girl. While in her 30's, she was the administrative assistant for Bill Gothard, a man who headed up a Christian teaching ministry through a series of seminars, typically in large auditoriums or sports stadiums. It was known as "Basic Youth Conflicts," and thousands of people would attend at a time, meeting in large convention centers and stadiums. She was doing this work when she and Mark met.
Ginger is an endless resource for creativity, and her small stature did not reflect the strength and stamina she had in being a marvelous wife and mother. She particularly excelled by home schooling their children. She has been an endless source of reference for my own daughter, Tiffany, the mother of four children whom she also is home schooling.
Marriage Notes for MARK JUMPER and GINGER JONES: The marriage of Mark to Ginger represented to his father, who officiated at their wedding, the last of his children to wed, even though Mark is the eldest of the children. The congregation of friends and loved ones at the Central Presbyterian Church in Clayton, Missouri was large and very celebrated.

He married NANCY LOUISE ROBINSON Jul 29, 1978 in Raytown, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City, at the Christian Church. She was born Dec 04, 1955 in Kansas City, Missouri.
Notes for PETER SHARPE JUMPER:
Peter began his education in Lubbock, Texas and his secondary education was in Saint Louis County, Missouri. During his college days, one of the interesting labors he undertook was the paving of driveways. Needless to day, he was often tared, but fortunately not feathered! In fact, this was an endeavor he did in partnership with his wife to be, Nancy Robinson, whom he met in college.
Born the very same day as was Peter was writer-producer David E. Kelly.

Peter was born the year that the Lerner and Loewe musical ''My Fair Lady'' opened on Broadway on March 15, 1956. That musical went on to become the longest running Broadway musical in its day, ending in June of 1962. It so happened that I was in New York City on business and attended the very last showing of that long run.

Peter achieved a bachelors and a masters degree in social work and counseling. He also
148 Carpenter Family was trained as a pilot in the United States Air Force, serving later in the Air National Guard. He, Nancy and the boys moved to the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas about 1990. He worked a several positions in his field of social work, then was called to active duty in 2001.
In 2003, he returned to his family in Richardson, Texas where he was took up a new position for a company as a pilot and also as a personnel manager ... a real blend of his experiences and expertise. He was unfortunate to contract a malignancy. However, he was fortunate to be in the military on that occasion, so the Government medical care took are of all the provision and expense for it. He concluded the experience with a clean bill of health.
Peter and their family have been active members and leaders in the CrossPointe Community Church, Carrollton, Dallas County, Texas. Peter has served several times as an elected elder in that congregation. It is a constituent member of the Evangelical Presbyterian Church denomination, a development off the former United Presbyterian Church, USA. Peter's father gave leadership to the forming of that denomination circa 1980.

Nancy grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, in a suburb named Ray Town. She met her husband, Peter, in collage at the University of Missouri.
Before their marriage, they partnered in an asphalting of driveways business in the summers. Boy, did they need cleaning at the end of the day! One summer, Nancy lived in our home, in St. Louis, and was a roommate with our daughter, Tiffany.
After the family relocated to Richardson, Texas, Nancy work at several positions. Her most recent and significant position is as an office manager for Acoustic Dimensions, a really high tech sound technology design company that does sound system projects over the world, including one in the Vatican in Rome.

Marriage Notes for PETER JUMPER and NANCY ROBINSON:
It was a fun family time that our family joined there at the Robinson's home church in Raytown, Missouri on that hot summer day July 29, 1978. We all had lots of fun being there with them.
On July 29, 1981, Britain's Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. So Peter and Nancy enjoyed sharing wedding anniversary dates with a world famous couple. However, Peter and Nancy's ability to carry out a good marriage certainly surpassed that of the royal couple!

She married BRUCE ALAN ROBERTSON Aug 09, 1980 in Clayton, Saint Louis County, Missouri, Central Presbyteian Church., son of NEWTON ROBERTSON and LEONA CAMPBELL. He was born Oct 23, 1956 in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Notes for CAROL ANNE JUMPER:
Carol's middle name, Anne, is her mother's middle name. She is a wonderful and inspiring niece. Her secondary education was in Saint Louis County. Her college education, at the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri, prepared her for the high school teaching profession.
The United States Census reported our nation's population the year of Carol's birth to be about 179,245,000. U. S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower, in his annual State of the Union message to Congress, proclaimed that 1960 promised to be the most prosperous year in our history. He projected a $200,000,000 surplus in the Government Budget! However, the AFL- CIO Labor Union Council proclaimed that recessin loomed on our horizons. Our flag of the United States became a 50 star flag in 1960, recognizing the 1959 entrance into the union of the State of Hawaii. "Ben Hur" was the Academy Award winner for best movie in 1960 and its star, Charles Heston was best actor in it. And most sadly, Casey Stengel, manager of the New York Yankee baseball team since 1949 was fired!

Her veterinarian husband, Bruce, established his practice in Fulton, Missouri, where Carol settled in on a long and successful teaching career in the public high school there. In time, the
151 Carpenter Family family acquired two hundred seventy five acres of farm land and raised cattle, among other agricultural pursuits. They are very active in the Baptist Church.
Bruce was ordained as a deacon and they both held leadership positions in several areas (e.g. Sunday School directors/teachers, Stewardship Chairman, Trustee Chairman, Personnel Committee. Chair, etc.). At one point Carol was considered a staff member, in that the church paid her for leading choruses with guitar on Sunday mornings in the early service.
Carol mastered a number of athletic skills, leading her to coach and to hunt. Some of Carol's hobbies were being an avid photographer and songwriter. Along with writing songs for weddings, funerals, or other special occasions she was also commissioned by their church to write an anthem for the 40th anniversary of the church's founding.
In terms of coaching, she coached the boys in soccer and baseball for several years and was head volleyball coach at Fulton High School, where she taught Biology and Genetics. Carol began at FHS in 1984, with a 4-year hiatus to stay at home with the boys when they were younger. She also worked part-time at Bruce's clinic during those four years.
Carol writes of her time in meeting Bruce: "I attended the University of Missouri- Columbia on volleyball scholarship and originally was a pre-vet major. During the 2nd semester of my freshman year, I happened to have a General Psychology class with a handsome senior guy named Bruce Robertson (Bruce had attended the University of Missouri Saint Louis and transferred to the University of Missouri to finish his degree and was applying to vet school. He was accepted that spring, by the way)!
"He happened to see me on campus one day and, recognizing me from class, came up to talk and walked me to my next class. We ended up dating all summer, since we were both from St. Louis, and the dating continued into the fall semester. The fall of 1979, I returned to Mizzou (local nomenclature for the University of Missouri) as a sophomore and Bruce began his first year of vet school. On the autumnal equinox in 1979, Bruce Robertson proposed marriage to me (and I promptly accepted!). The next summer, on the date of my mother's birthday, we were married by my father at Central Presbyterian Church on August 9, 1980. During my sophomore year I had changed my major to Science Education and I graduated on May 15, 1982 from the University of Missouri-Columbia with a Bachelor of Science in Education with lifetime certification to teach Biology and Chemistry. (NOTE: I continued to play volleyball on scholarship all four years at Mizzou). While Bruce finished his last year of vet school, I taught at Hallsville High School."
Carol speaks to us in 2004, the year they became empty nesters:
"I continue to teach at Fulton High School and thorough enjoy the students and teachers there! This year is a little easier with only two preparations (Honors Biology and Honors Genetics) and smaller class sizes. This past school year, I was honored to be chosen third quarter as the 'Teacher of the Quarter.' Along with farm work, I kept busy this summer as I accepted an invitation to be one of the Master Teachers at the Summer Institute for Genetics at the University of Missouri (a two-week intensive program for high school teachers). We had a wonderful summer vacation to see my sister, Amy, and her family in New York and my brother, Mark, and his family in Connecticut. The biggest change has come in the way of
152 Carpenter Family being empty nesters this fall. You know, we miss the boys, but it is kind of fun to enter this new state of life! It has been exciting to see them go off to college. They have grown into fine young men!! Change has also come with me no longer coaching volleyball. I am currently looking into working on a Masters in Biology at the University of Missouri, something I put off while the boys were home. We'll see if that works out. I still enjoy leading music at church and hunting/fishing on the farm. I also purchased a nice digital camera to take that hobby to a new level."
In the family's Christmas letter of 2005, Carol shares with us that she was named "Teacher of the Year" for the Fulton (Missouri) Public Schools! WOW, what an accomplishment! That same year, she was chosen as the one from Missouri for a Fellowship working in the summer of 2006 with researchers in plant genetics. Her genetics classes and the work they did was featured in the Winter 2006 issue of "School and Community" magazine. Growing out of all this, Carol was then enrolled in the Missouri University Masters of Science Education program, taking classes in the evenings. She said it was interesting being a coed after so many years, and at the same time and campus as her younger son, Jeff.

Notes for BRUCE ALAN ROBERTSON:
Bruce was born on the same day as an anti-Stalinist revolt began in Hungary. This was the same day as American Jazz singer Dianne Reeves was born and that American Country & Western singer Dwight Yoakam was born.
Bruce and Carol met while they both were students at the University of Missouri. He became a Doctor of Veterinarian Medicine.
He was native to Missouri, and they spent most of their married life in and near Fulton, Missouri. They maintained a near-by working farm where they lived, and he operated a Veterinary Clinic in Fulton. His work there was long tenured and successful. In 2004, he took on a partner who purchased 25% of the clinic, Dr. Cindy Vedder, thus making Bruce's work load much more manageable.
Bruce provided active leadership in their local Baptist Church, including serving the office of Deacon.

She married (2) STEVEN ODIS WESTMORELAND Mar 21, 1998 in Highland Park Presbyterian Church, University Park, Dallas County, Texas201, son of HERBERT WESTMORELAND and BETTY COVINGTON. He was born Jan 06, 1962 in Durant, Oklahoma.
Notes for TIFFANY LENN SHARPE:
Tiffany was less than one year old when our family located in the crime-ridden inner city part of New Orleans, where, as her parents, we were involved in the starting of a ministry began by Canal Street Presbyterian Church where we were members. It was May of 1967 that we moved, and that month was when the 100 millionth telephone was installed in the United States, and it was when the Presbyterian Church in the U.S. adopted "The Confession of 1967," the first confessional document adopted by Presbyterians since the Westminster Confession of Faith was adopted in England in 1647.
Tiffany's early years were spent on glass strewn sidewalks and in a rough neighborhood where there were five bars within a block of our house, and they never had closing hours. Her cute appearance drew the attentions of men who worked on the wharfs, painters and general drifters, some of which were graduates of the criminal justice system, or who were bound to it. Her last year in that neighborhood was her kindergarten year in the public grammar school. The students were almost all African American children. She was one of two Anglo students in her class. The public swimming pools in New Orleans were closed in those days, a plan to avoid racial conflicts and tensions. So, we joined the Jewish Community Center so swimming lessons would be available to our children. This was an excellent organization located on Saint Charles Avenue in Uptown New Orleans and we received wonderful treatment.
The family's St. Louis experience, beginning in 1972, provided a wonderful environment for her. Flynn Park Elementary School was a model school, and Tiffany excelled in many
155 Carpenter Family ways there. Actually, they lived in a St. Louis suburb, named University City. Her spirit of competitiveness began to show when she became a member of the coed soccer team. Flynn Park School was virtually all Anglo students. However, the student body was 50% Jewish families. This was the family's second exposure to Jewish ways and people to any great extent, which was a very positive experience.
Junior high experience was not as appreciated as the Flynn Park times. There were many students from culturally and economically deprived families and 80% were African American students. The academic standards were greatly reduced. For example, all the accelerated advanced courses were discontinued, because they were populated almost exclusively by Anglo students. This situation was a key reason that Tiffany and her brother, Taylor, were withdrawn from that junior high school and put into private schools.
Tiffany attended Visitation High School in Saint Louis, Missouri, a Roman Catholic school, before the family moved to Dallas. In Dallas, at Highland Park High School, she accomplished excellent grades and was a member of the Lads & Lassies Chorale group. Tiffany learned to play some musical instruments, and took small rolls in community Broadway musicals, such as "Fiddler on the Roof." In fact, that musical was an occasion where all five members of our family had roles.
Tiffany began college at the University of Texas at Austin. She transferred a number of times during her college career, and attended various community colleges in the summers, a total of five in number. She graduated as an Accounting Major at the University of Texas at Dallas, with a cum laude designation. Tiffany's whole educational career was accentuated with consistently high grades.
After college, she earned her Certified Public Accounting status. She worked in Dallas initially at Coopers and Lybrand, one of the major national accounting firms. Later that firm moved her to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she became a member of the Shady Side Presbyterian Church.
She returned to Dallas, having been recruited by Ryan and Collins, a CPA firm whose principals she had know earlier at Coopers and Lybrand. That firm worked exclusively in sales tax problem resolvement and represented its clients before state boards which may be assessing fines in order to document why no fine or a much lesser fine should be levied in that case. The firm was remunerated usually as a percent of whatever it saved the client. Both the firm and Tiffany did very well, and I called them accounting bounty hunters!
After her first child was born, and just before Jack arrived, she "retired" from being a high profile professional woman and took up the higher requirements of being a domestic engineer ... a stay at home mother, raising the finest of children. Her forte in life really excelled in her role as a mother. She brought new meaning to excellence in domestic engineering as she raised her family. Of course, her husband, Steve, certainly enabled much accomplishment in their partnership in the home.
In 2001, the family moved to Southlake, Texas, a suburban community particularly convenient to the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport from where Steve flew as an American Airlines pilot. The joined the Baptist Church, Church at the Cross, nearby, and became quite active in
156 Carpenter Family participating and in giving leadership.
When Katie reached the age to be in kinder garden, Tiffany began to Home School her, which continued as Jack came along, etc. The family became connected with a large network of other Home School families which did many activities together.

Notes for STEVEN ODIS WESTMORELAND:
Steve was raised in Platte City, Missouri. He had an early engineering type interest and particularly was drawn to flight. He acquired a pilot's license as a teenager. He graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in engineering and served as a pilot for the Navy Air Force.
He shared a birthday with the long tenured Speaker of the House of the United States Congress, Mr. Sam Raburn, born in 1882. Sam, a revered leader in the Democratic Part of his day, died in November of the year after Steve was born.

His post military pilot experience began at American Airlines. There was a furlough time from there that he spent at Kitty Hawk Air Lines, a freight carrier based in North Carolina. Later he returned to American Airlines. He did a lot of domestic flights as well as some international flights, particularly to South America.
I was so excited when Steve's Mother showed me that their line went through English King Edward I, who also is in my family line. The result is that Tiffany and Steve are a married couple who also are 34th cousins, four times removed! Steve turns out to be the 24th great grandson of King Edward I, whereas Tiffany is the King's 12th cousin, 24 times removed. So, we are pleased that Tiffany enhanced the reputation of our Sharpe family by marrying into a direct royal family!
157 Carpenter Family
In addition, Steve is the 42nd great grandson of King Charlemagne the great. The connection with English King Edward I makes him a 33rd cousin, five times removed in relation to me.
Steve and Tiffany joined the Church at the Cross, a Baptist Church in the Fort Worth suburb, and became very active participants and leaders. Steve was on a team of church members who went to the New Orleans, Louisiana area to feed displaced people who were victims of Hurricane Katrina in September 2005.
Steve is very talented with his hands and is an excellent carpenter and handy man around the house. He has constructed several pieces of their furniture. On top of that, he has a great sense of what it is to be a husband and father. Sometimes I watch him with his children and think that he is a much better dad that I was able to be. I am truly blessed to have him as a son- in-law.
Marriage Notes for TIFFANY SHARPE and STEVEN WESTMORELAND:
Steve and Tiffany were married in Wynne Chapel of the Highland Park Presbyterian Church @ 3821 University Boulevard, Dallas, Texas. The service was officiated by Sharpe family friend, the Rev. Dr. Harry Sharp (no relation known) Hassall, the Senior Associate Pastor at that church, a Presbyterian Church (USA) congregation and where I served on the staff before retiring in 2004 after 22 years.
The service was at 2:00 P.M., with a capacity congregation in the 144 seat chapel, followed by a wedding reception in the church's formal parlor. Food Service Director of the Church, Druselda Solomon, oversaw a delightful reception. The wedding cake was a "Tiffany" cake design, taken from an idea from the retail outlet, Tiffany's of New York, to have a cake in series of squares, topped by a present wrapped in the traditional blue signature presentation of Tiffany's presents.
The dinner and evening event was for relatives and out of town visitors at the Sharpe home at 4539 Willow Lane. About 75 persons were there for beef brisket, chili and all of the fun things to eat and drink. Tiffany's cousin, Lt. Mark Andrew Jumper, a chaplain in the Navy, recited his composure of a blessing for the house.
This house was purchased the prior year by Suzanne and me, together with Tiffany to share in ownership. It was decided that the newly married couple would take over full ownership, and that the parents would "downsize" to a condominium rental.
It was altogether a delightful experience for a wedding, and all were happy.
It is of interest for us to have discovered in 2005 that Steve actually is related to Tiffany. They are 34th cousins, four times removed, through King Edward I of England. Steve is in a direct lineal descent as the 24th great grandson of King Edward I, whereas Tiffany is only the 12th cousin, 22 times removed of King Edward I.
158 Carpenter Family
So, we are pleased that our daughter got the royal treatment!

Children of TIFFANY SHARPE and STEVEN WESTMORELAND are: i. KATHERINE MICHELLE15 WESTMORELAND, b. Jan 17, 1999, Dallas, Dallas County, Texas202.
Notes for KATHERINE MICHELLE WESTMORELAND:
Katie's birth was at 6:40 PM at St. Vincent's de Paul's Hospital. The delivery physician was Dr. Anthony (Tony) Maxi, a jovial, bearded, laid-back man who sported a pair of cowboy boots for the delivery. Katie's father, Steve, along with Katie's grandmother, Suzanne Boggess Sharpe, were present and assisting all during the delivery. Steve's parents, Herb and Betty Westmoreland, along with me, spent a watchful time out in the waiting room. Tiffany's water broke circa 6:00 AM that Sunday morning. Steve & Tiffany checked into the hospital about 8:00 AM. Suzanne and I arrived by 9:00 AM. Herb and Betty were phoned early that morning at their Platte City, Missouri home, hopped a plane and arrived a little after 4:00 PM that afternoon. God's grace and blessings was obvious with such a safe, smooth and successful occasion.
Katie was born on the same birthday as was historically famous Benjamin Franklin, born in 1880 in Boston, Massachusetts. It also is the anniversary of the day that the patent for the first cable car was filed in San Francisco, California in 1871.
Source: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/today/today.html
Katie progressed in her growth and maturity along the lines typical of a first child. Her sharpness and grasp for things were clearly evident from early stages. Swimming lessons began about age two and shortly thereafter were gymnastic classes and ballot classes. She appeared in various roles at church and school plays and performances.
With Katie's dad being an American Airlines pilot, the family could travel without charge for air fare. And so, Katie travelled widely across the nation, having visited on both sea coasts before she was a year old!
In the summer of 2003, when Katie was four and a half, she took her first trip without her parents and siblings. Grandmother Sharpe and Papa Sharpe took
159 Carpenter Family
her on the 13 hour 600 mile drive from Texas to the family farm near Macon, Mississippi to visit Great Grandfather Thomas Shelton (T.S.) Boggess, Jr. Katie loved being on the farm, and spent many hours in outdoor activities, causing her to sleep in till about 8:00 AM each morning, a good hour or two later than her at home routine.
In the Christmas season of 2003 and 2004, Katie had minor roles in the local community's production of the "Nutcracker Suite."
Home schooling began in 2004 with Katie and her results always amazed her family. Here's a story her Mom told me in March of 2005 when Katie was age six:
"Katie and I were reading last night the creation story out of my Bible. I guess that most of her knowledge of the creation story up to this point was from storybooks or from kid versions of the Bible, so order of events had not posed any problems yet. We got to the day when God created the birds and the fish and Katie asked, 'How did God know what they were?'
"Being only half as smart as Katie, I didn't understand what the problem was. In case you are equally challenged, here was her thought process: Since Adam named the animals, and Adam wasn't created yet, how could God know that the creatures He had just created were named 'birds' and 'fish'?"
Wow! What a mind!

Notes for JOHN DAVID WESTMORELAND:
John David Westmoreland, destined to be called Jack, arrived in good fashion, born at RHD Hospital in North Dallas, delivered by Dr. Maxi, Katie's deliverer. The Westmoreland grandparents and Suzanne were present with Steve and Tiffany for this almost august delivery (he came 4 days before August). Papa Sharpe, as I am called by my grandchildren, was on a genealogical trip to Kentucky with Great Grand Dad Boggess at the time ... the Boggess Family Association. All of us rejoiced at the arrival of the first born of our family in the new millennium under their family tree.
Jack's character is exemplified as a happy and joyful boy, full of curiosity.
160 Carpenter Family
He, no doubt, will be a thoughtful scientist, like his namesake Uncle David Westmoreland. And, certainly, he will become a pilot after his father's profession.
Jack was born on the 47th anniversary of the signing of the Korean War armistice at Panmunjom, ending three years of fighting. The Korean War Veterans Memorial was dedicated July 27, 1995 in Washington, D.C., by President Bill Clinton and South Korean President Kim Young-sam.
Another historically important anniversary on his July 27 day of birth was the 1694 founding of the Bank of England. One of the founding members of the Board of Directors was Sir Thomas Abney, who is Jack's fourth cousin, ten times removed. Sir Thomas was elected Lord Mayor of London, serving as early as 1690 and certainly in 1700 and 1701. He served on the City Council as senior alderman the rest of his life, which concluded February 6, 1722.
And the really significant anniversary on Jack's birth date is the 1940 anniversary of Bugs Bunny, the Walt Disney character who made his debut in the Warner Bros. animated cartoon ''A Wild Hare.''
On Jack's birthday in 2003, Comedian Bob Hope died in Toluca Lake, Calif., at age 100. That same day, Lance Armstrong won a record-tying fifth straight title in the Tour de France. He went on win his record setting seventh straight win July 24, 2005.
Jack's birthday was really selected on purpose! July 27 was selected as the day to induce his delivery so his birthday would be 7-27. His father used to fly the Boeing 727 airplane at Kitty Hawk Air Freight Lines out of North Carolina. Of course, his father's main pilot career has been with American Airlines.
iii. LILY TAYLOR WESTMORELAND, b. Apr 15, 2002, Irving, Dallas County, Texas203.
Notes for LILY TAYLOR WESTMORELAND:
Lily, the first of the twins to be delivered, was greeted, as usual, by Dr. Maxi, along with the usual trailing family members, including Grandmother Sharpe who actually lent a hand in the process. Suzanne and Dr. Maxi may become a team!
iv. SARAH TODD WESTMORELAND, b. Apr 15, 2002, Irving, Dallas County, Texas204.
Notes for SARAH TODD WESTMORELAND:
161 Carpenter Family
Sarah followed Lily in the introduction to the new world, greeted by Dr. Maxi and Grandmother Sharpe. It's of interest to note that later, in 2004, Suzanne became a patiend of Dr. Maxi. So, it's all in the family!

She married RONALD MCNEILL Bef. 1996, son of MCNEILL. He was born Nov 28, 1964.
Notes for APRIL LEE SHARPE:
April, whose family moved to California when she was about 10 years old, was raised mostly in Escondido, California. She initially communicated with me in an August 8, 2004 e- mail.
She had a delightful story about her first meeting with her Dad, Harry Franklin Sharpe, my first cousin:
"I don’t know if my Dad told you the story of how we finally met. It’s a pretty amazing story actually. I was raised by my mother, and didn’t even see my Dad until I was a junior in high school. I remember that somehow my Mom and Dad had got back in touch with each other, and decided that he and I should meet. I flew to Texas for the first time since I was a baby, to meet my Dad. My Dad said he would be wearing a suite and would have a newspaper under his arm. I got off the plane, and what do you know? Every man in the airport had a suite on and a newspaper under his arm! Talk about nervous! After walking straight ahead for a bit, I caught eye contact with a man, whom I knew at that first instant was my father! I have always thought that I look so much like my Mom, but you would not believe how much I look like my Dad. The rest of the family did double takes when they saw me, they couldn’t get over the resemblance either. I know it is kind of a strange story,
162 Carpenter Family but somehow God put my Dad back in my life, and I am so grateful to him for that. It was odd at first getting to know my Dad, but I now feel like we have never been separated. He is so very special to me."
April is an escrow officer, whor works for Chicago Title, on the escrow side. She mostly handles residential “subdivision” escrows. Her company targets the builders or developers and then handle all the escrows in that subdivision. Her comment in 2004 about her work is, "I’ve being doing escrow for about 18 years now. It is a very stressful job, but I do enjoy a challenge!"

Darrell was born in a famous month. On Sept. 26, 1960, the first televised debate between presidential candidates Richard M. Nixon and John F. Kennedy took place in Chicago. As a college student, I watched it in the living room of the Acacia Fraternity House in the 2600 block of Rio Grande Street in Austin, Travis County, Texas with some of my friends who had invited me to their House. It was an impressive demonstration of how stage presence and charisma could affect the molding of public opinion through the media of television.

Monty was never formally adopted by Jim, but Monty used Flinsch as his last name in order to match his mother's remarried name. Confusion exists, because his passport indicates Buell, but Flinsch appears on his drivers license.
He pursued studies as a PhD candidate at New Mexico Technical, as of 1995, but more

Marriage Notes for MATTHEW REEVES and ELIZABETH HENDERSON:
Matthew's mother was the officiating pastor for their marriage. It was held at the Round Rock Presbyterian Church, as their home church, Grace Presbyterian, was not large enough to host this wedding. It is located at 4010 Sam Bass Road, a main thoroughfare named after the famed outlaw of that area from the 1800's legends.
The couple departed for the port of Galveston for a lovely honeymoon cruise. Their initial living quarters were in Leander, Texas on land with her parents, while both pursued further graduate education.
The wedding took place on the very day that Syndicated advice columnist Ann Landers died at age 83.

Child of MATTHEW REEVES and ELIZABETH HENDERSON is: i. BENJAMIN CHRISTOPHER16 REEVES, b. Jun 17, 2005, Austin, Travis County, Texas.
Notes for BENJAMIN CHRISTOPHER REEVES:
Early on the monring of Benjamin's birth, we received the following e-mail from his Grandmother Nancy Reeves: "Benjamin Christopher Reeves was born at 12:47 a.m. on Friday, June 17 at North Austin Medical Center. He weighed 7 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 inches long. Everyone is doing AWESOME!!! He was welcomed into the world at the hospital by Dad Matt, Grandparents Kevin and Nancy Reeves, David and Celeste Yeakley, Sam and Cheryl Henderson, Aunts and Uncles
172 Carpenter Family
Chris Reeves, Vicky Reeves, Sarah Shaney, Matt Henderson and Alisha, Bryan Henderson, Jason Yeakley, and Celeste Shaney. It was a wonderful celebration!!! They expect to go home on Saturday. Praise God!!!! Grace and peace, Nancy Reeves"
Nancy, of course, is Benjamin's grandmother! She also is the Pastor of the Grace Presbyterian Church of Round Rock. This is the first grandchild of Nancy & Kevin, and they are so proud! Fortunately for Suzanne and me, we were visiting with our son, Todd, in the Austin area, so we were able to visit little Benjamin later on in the day of his birth.
Benjamin represents the first great, grand nephew for Suzanne and me. He also represents the first member of our related family who becomes an eighth generation Texan! We are so pleased to be in the midst of such an historical person!
Additionally, we are pleased that Benjamin arrived on June 17th, as it is the 43rd anniversary of the date on which Suzanne and I met in New Orleans, Orleans Parish, Louisiana back in 1962!
Truly, this day of birth is a great day for historical references. You might remember that today is the 281st birthday of Ann Rockenfeller. She is of the famous American family of the Rockefellers. She was the second cousin, once removed, of Johann Philip Rockefeller, the husband of Cartharina Sharp, who is Benjamin's sixth great grand aunt.
Many of you should remember England's King Edward I, known as "Longshanks," due to his great height. Today is his 766th birthday. He was portrayed, unfortunately in a bad light, in the Mel Gibson movie a few years ago, "Braveheart," the story of a little Scottish rebellion against England. Edward I is the last of the three generations of Kings that issued versions of the Magna Carta, the series of 17 such issuances that represented the first instances of human and civil rights appearing in official government papers. A copy of that is owned by the Perot Foundation here in America, and I am privileged to have a copy of it framed and hanging on the walls at home. King Edward is Benjamin's 12th cousin, 24 times removed through my Mother's family line. He also is, in my father's family line, the 11th great grandfather of the 1st husband of Alice Carpenter, Benjamin's eleven times great grandmother. In addition, King Edward I is the 24th great grandfather of our son-in-law, Steve O. Westmoreland, meaning that our daughter, Tiffany, married well into Royalty!
Benjamin was born on the 170th wedding anniversary of when Sarah Knox Taylor married Jefferson Davis. At the time of the marriage, Jefferson was in the U.S. Army under the command of Colonel Zachary Taylor. The Colonel went on to become President of the United States. Jefferson went on to become the Secretary of Defense for the United States before he joined the breakaway rebellion of the Southern States. He become President of the
173 Carpenter Family
Confederate States of America. After the War Between the States, during his retirement years, Jefferson actually was offered the Presidency of Texas A&M University at the time when it was first being organized. He declined the honor and remained in retirement until his death. Jefferson is the Uncle of Benjamin's great, great, great great grand aunt, Susanna Elizabeth Davis, wife of James Addison Abney of my mother's ancestry.
So, it should be with a great deal of historical pride and blessing that Benjamin joins this long line of historically significant events for having his birthday.

246 Carpenter Family What does it mean to be a third cousin, twice removed?
The “removed” term signifies the number of generations that one is removed from the initially described relationship.
You should be able to understand what it is to have a first cousin. That is the child of one of your parent’s siblings. If your first cousin, Robert, has a child named Charlie, your relationship to that Charlie is as a first cousin, once removed.
If your first cousin Robert has grandchild, then your relationship to that grandchild is as a first cousin, twice removed.
Concerning your first cousin, once removed named Charlie. If you have a child, your child’s relationship to Charlie is as a second cousin. Children of first cousins are second cousins to each other.
Likewise, the grandchildren of first cousins are third cousins to each other.
If you are a third cousin to Sally who has a grand child named William, your relationship to William is as a third cousin, twice removed.
247 Carpenter Family
What is it to be a Half?
What is a half brother? Or, what is a half cousin?
This is the situation when one parent is a common ancestor of two people, but they have another spouse of that common ancestor as the other parent.
For example: Your mother dies and your father remarries, producing more children. Those children from the second marriage are your half brothers or half sisters. Similarly, if your uncle dies and your aunt remarries, producing children in the second marriage, those second marriage children are your half first cousins.
